About this map

Brewton serves as the focal point of this 1960s-era landscape, where the confluence of Murder Creek and Burnt Corn Creek defines the local topography. The map illustrates a community shaped by education and faith, featuring the Southern Normal Sch and Washington High Sch alongside numerous rural congregations like Pilgrims Chapel and Zion Hill Ch. To the east, the Seaboard rail line runs parallel to the water, connecting the northern settlement of Kirkland to the regional hub.

The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Brewton, including Wilson Street, to the preserved lands of the Miller Wildlife Management Area. Smaller hamlets like Appleton appear in the northwest, surrounded by a network of drainage features such as Juniper Creek and Sevenmile Creek. This map documents a period of established local institutions, from the Hospital and Country Club to scattered rural sites like the North Brewton Sch.
