1971 Map of Chesson

About this map

Cubahatchee Creek and Old Town Creek wind through this rural corner of Alabama, marking a landscape where the intersections of four counties—Macon, Montgomery, Bullock, and Pike—dictate the local geography. The settlement at Chesson sits along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the Central of Georgia tracks. This survey documents a deeply rooted community infrastructure, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Mt Silah Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Aliens Chapel. A notable historical detail is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting diagonally across the southeastern corner, a remnant of early frontier surveying. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainages like Mathews Creek and Thobolocco Creek, punctuated by landmarks like Halls Pond and Weiss Lake.
