1958 Map of Wattsville

About this map

Pine Ridge and the Beaver Creek Mountains dominate this St. Clair County landscape, where deep-cut ridges run parallel to the industrial and agricultural valleys of the late 1950s. The region is defined by extensive extraction, with numerous strip mines and mine pits dotting the terrain near Coal City and Wattsville. Transportation is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which pierces the topography at the Hardwick Tunnel near Hardwick. Local life centers around a dense network of country churches and schools, such as Harkeys Chapel, Mt Moriah Ch, and the Coal City Sch. Along The Heart of Dixie Highway, modern developments like a drive-in theater appear alongside older family-named landmarks like Laymans Pond and Bowlin Bluff.
