1968 Map of Central Mills

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Central Mills sits at the heart of this Black Belt landscape, serving as a focal point where the local road network meets the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The late 1960s terrain is defined by the winding course of Chilatchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Chilatchee Creek and Rogers Creek. This rural section of Dallas and Perry counties is anchored by numerous country churches that serve as community landmarks, such as Shady Grove Ch and Christian Light Ch. Small-scale water features like Bon-Aire Lake and names such as Blalock reflect a pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement and timberlands. The convergence of the Southern Railroad with other lines at the southern end of the sheet illustrates the era's reliance on rail transport for moving local resources through Carleys and toward larger markets.
