1987 Map of Barachias

About this map

Montgomery expands southward toward the Corporate Limits in this late 1980s provisional study, showing the suburban growth of the Alabama capital. The landscape is a mix of developing residential areas like Pinedale and older rural settlements such as Barachias and Macedonia. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including the Green Cem, Flora Cem, and the Jackson Prospect Ch Cem located near the southern edge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Catoma Creek and Whites Slough, which influence the local road network. Educational and religious landmarks are densely plotted, from the Montgomery Catholic High Sch to country churches like Harmony Ch and Pine Grove Ch. Evidence of earlier local industry remains at Perrys Mill along the Southern railroad line, while modern infrastructure is represented by the CSX rail corridor.
