1963 Map of Barrontown

About this map

Tallahala Creek dictates the geography of this 1963 survey, winding southward through a landscape defined by the intersection of Jones, Forrest, and Perry Counties. The rural settlement pattern is anchored by local congregations and schools, including Unity Chapel, Macedonia Ch, and the Petal Lookout Tower which overlooks the southern reaches near Barrontown. In the central region, the crossroads at Morriston serves as a local hub near Gillis Creek. The map records a transition toward modern infrastructure with the appearance of gas wells and a Compressor Sta, illustrating the mid-century industrial presence alongside traditional agriculture. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Barlow Cem and Odoms Cem, are located throughout the pine-heavy terrain, offering essential coordinates for genealogical research in this tri-county borderland.
