1953 Map of Andalusia

About this map

The Alabama River and Tombigbee River define the western reaches of this 1950s survey, a landscape where river navigation and rail transport intersect. Major rail lines including the Louisville & Nashville and Seaboard Coast Line connect established regional hubs like Andalusia, Greenville, and Brewton. This period captures the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure, notably the Atmore State Prison Farm and the conservation lands of the Little River State Forest. Numerous waterways, such as the Sepulga River and Pigeon Creek, feed the larger river basins, illustrating the drainage patterns vital to the area's timber and farming history. Small settlements like Monroeville and Georgiana serve as nodes in a dense network of secondary roads and forest tracts that characterize the heart of South Alabama during the mid-century.
