1982 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Brooklyn sits near the confluence of the Sepulga River and several major tributaries along the border of Conecuh and Escambia counties. This 1982 provisional survey details a landscape defined by its intricate drainage network, including Amos Mill Creek, Polly Creek, and the winding path of Bottle Creek. The settlement pattern in this era is concentrated around small hubs like Spring Hill and Johnsonville, with rural land use evidenced by the scattered Cem locations and a dense web of unimproved roads and trails. The map serves as a record of South Alabama's interior before significant modern development, showing the prominence of water-named landmarks like Bearthick Creek, Rawls Creek, and Horton Branch in orienting local residents and property owners.
