About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders through the heart of this Lamar County landscape, defining the topography of western Alabama during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The river's winding path is flanked by numerous tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Mill Creek, which historically supported the region's agricultural and rural development. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as a primary industrial artery, connecting the settlements of Beaverton and Crews.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of community landmarks, such as Mt Hebron Cem Ch, Crews Ch, and the Prospect Ch Cem. The presence of the Lamarion Wildlife Management Area in the northeast and numerous Gravel Pits throughout the quadrangle highlights the balance between conservation and local industry. The map even captures specific infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Radio Tower, offering a precise record of the built environment at the time of the 1980s updates.
