About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad cuts through the heart of this Lee County landscape, linking the small communities of Salem, Shotwell, Bleecker, and Motts. This rural corridor is defined by its water-powered history and local institutions, notably at Moffits Mill where a collection of Falls marks the terrain near the southern edge of the quadrangle. Educational and spiritual centers like Wacoochee High Sch, Antioch Ch, and New Hope Ch serve the surrounding farmstead network.

A dense system of creeks, including Wacoochee Creek, Little Uchee Creek, and Hospilika Creek, drains the territory, often dictating the placement of early settlements like Prince Crossroads and Meadows Crossroads. Local industry is represented by a Sand and Gravel Pit and multiple utility pipelines, while cemeteries such as Stroud Cem provide vital markers for genealogical research in this part of eastern Alabama.
