1971 Map of Vimville

About this map

Vimville and the southern reaches of Lauderdale County are defined here by a network of rural schools and family-centered community sites in the early 1970s. The landscape is carved by Buckatunna Creek and the Long Creek Reservoir, with small settlements like Increase linked by winding roads through wooded terrain. Local education is centered around the Jeff Davis Academy and Southeast Lauderdale High Sch, while several combined church and cemetery sites, including Shiloh Ch & Cem and Causeyville Ch & Cem, serve as primary landmarks for genealogists and local historians. This era shows a community in balance between its agrarian roots and modern developments like the Pumping Station and a nearby Golf Course. Multiple sand and gravel operations, such as the Gravel Pit and various Sandpits, indicate the local mineral extraction that helped build the region's infrastructure.
