1973 Map of Camden South

About this map

Camden's southern outskirts and the surrounding Wilcox County landscape are defined by a network of rural churchyards and family cemeteries that offer a window into the area's genealogical history. The terrain drops from the residential edge of town near the McIntosh Cem and Radio Tower (WCOX) into a heavily dissected drainage system led by Shoal Creek and Pursley Creek. This 1970s survey captures the region as a patchwork of timber and small agricultural clearings, dotted with localized settlements like Pebble Hill and Wheeler Quarter. Cultural landmarks are frequent, including St James Ch and numerous burial grounds such as Magnolia Cem, Capell Cem, and Little Rock Ch Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits along the creek beds suggests the importance of local material extraction for maintaining the roads connecting these disparate communities and points like Gallows Bluff.
