1997 Map of Clopton

About this map

The Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries, including Lindsey Creek and Cedar Creek, define the landscape of this Henry County region in the late 1990s. The settlement of Abbeville serves as the primary hub in the southeast, anchored by a county hospital and infrastructure like Murphy Station. Rural life is centered around a dense network of community landmarks, particularly churches such as Bond Bethel Church, Macedonia Church, and St Michaels Church. Educational sites like the County Training School and St Peters School reflect the distributed nature of the local population. To the north, the terrain rises toward Rocky Mountain, while the west is dotted with agricultural water features such as Hartzog Pond and Lingo Pond. This survey details a transitional period for these Alabama communities, documenting established hamlets like Clopton, Edwin, and Texasville alongside modern utility developments like the local Substation.
