About this map

Spring Hill and Tarentum anchor this rural Pike County landscape as it appeared during the mid-20th century. The area is defined by a high density of community centers, particularly numerous churches such as Turner Chapel, Bethlehem Ch, and White Rock Ch. These nodes of local life are connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty routes that navigate the drainage basins of Whitewater Creek and Walnut Creek.

Surface mining activity is evident through several Strip Mines and a Borrow Pit, indicating the local extraction economy of the era. The presence of both the Spring Hill Sch and Elam Sch near their respective churches highlights the traditional school-church pairing common in Alabama’s rural settlements. Recreation and infrastructure are also represented by Pike County Lake and a series of Swimming Pools near the southern edge of the survey.
