About this map

The Alabama River dominates this mid-1970s landscape, featuring the wide expanse of the William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir and its numerous access points like Cochran Landing and Ellis Ferry Access Point. The map provides a detailed view of the Gees Bend area, a region of significant cultural and agricultural importance, where scattered settlements like Boykin are surrounded by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pettway Cem, Sodom Cem, and Pigeonfield Cem.

To the west, the community of Millers Ferry sits near the now abandoned Henderson Airport, reflecting shifting local transportation needs. The area is marked by a mix of institutional and recreational sites, from the Lower Coastal Plains Experimental Farm to Camden State Park. Numerous small churches, such as Shady Grove Ch, St Francis Ch, and New Trinity Ch, serve as anchors for the rural neighborhoods throughout Wilcox County.
