About this map

The Alabama River defines the western edge of this landscape, its winding course marked by Mt Pleasant Landing and the convergence of several major tributaries. Inland, the settlements of Chrysler, Eliska, and Mineola form a rural network connected by small family-named landmarks and local congregations. Genealogists will find notable burial and worship sites, including the Shomo Cem, Mamies Chapel, and Eliska Ch.

A legacy of earlier transportation and industry is visible in the Old RR Grade passing south of Georgetown, while the terrain is deeply dissected by a dense system of waterways like Shomo Creek, Wallers Creek, and Brickyard Creek. The map documents a specific moment in the early 1970s where traditional landings and small-town junctions remained the primary organizational features of this riverine corner of Monroe County.
