1968 Map of Bullock

About this map

The Conecuh River meanders through this landscape, carving a wide floodplain that separates the higher ground of Brantley from the rural communities to the east. At this time in the late 1960s, the Central of Georgia railroad tracks cut through the river valley, serving the timber and agricultural needs of south-central Alabama. The map reveals a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks that anchor the social history of the region. From Mt Zion Ch in the north to Zion Chapel and Weed Ch in the south, these spiritual centers appear alongside rural intersections like Weed Crossroad and small settlements like Bullock and Friendship. Notable water features such as Lake Norman, Bailey Lakes, and Bryan Mill Creek highlight the importance of local hydrology to the area's development and historical milling sites.
