About this map

Conecuh River and its numerous tributaries, including Patsaliga Creek and Pigeon Creek, define the drainage patterns of this South Alabama region during the mid-1980s. The landscape is characterized by a balance of industrial infrastructure and protected natural spaces, with the Conecuh National Forest spanning the southern reaches and the Miller State Wildlife Management Area to the west. Central to the map is the city of Andalusia, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural communities.

Water management is evident through the impoundments at Gantt Lake and Point A Lake, while smaller settlements like Loango, Owassa, and Brooklyn offer a look at the scattered township development typical of the era. Significant landmarks such as the Andalusia-Opp Municipal Airport and the U.S. Military Reservation indicate the modern logistical footprint alongside traditional river crossings like Watkins Bridge and McGowan Bridge.
