About this map

The Alabama River and Tombigbee River snake through a landscape of dense river bottoms and upland pine forests in this mid-1980s look at Escambia, Monroe, and Clarke Counties. The map captures a transition in Southern land management, showing the Stimpson State Game Sanctuary and the Little River State Forest alongside industrial and correctional infrastructure like the G K Fountain Correctional Center.

Railroad networks such as the Seaboard System Railroad link the larger hubs of Atmore and Brewton to smaller timber and agricultural settlements like McCullough, Canoe, and Nokomis. River islands and bends, including Mound Island and Aiken Island, highlight the complex hydrology of the Mobile-Tensas Delta region, while numerous rural institutions like Roundtop Ch and Gainestown School mark the enduring community footprint of these river-corridor towns.
