1960 Map of Upshaw

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Brindley Mountain dominates the high ground in this 1960 survey, serving as a backdrop for the small community of Upshaw and the surrounding timberlands. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the north-flowing waters like West Flint Creek and Wiggins Hollow from the southern drainages of the Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area. Numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions are scattered through the valleys, including Lindsay Hall Ch and the Basham Lookout Tower standing watch over the William B Bankhead National Forest. This document is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously records small rural burial grounds such as Asherbracker Cem, Simms Cem, and Friendship Cem, offering a detailed view of the settlement pattern along the county line.
