About this map

Comer sits at a crossroads in eastern Alabama during the early 1970s, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural landscape where the Central of Georgia railroad line cuts a diagonal path across the terrain. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, with numerous country churches such as Great Hope Ch, Ramah Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch scattered throughout the countryside alongside family landmarks like Seay Cem.

Natural water features including South Fork Cowikee Creek, Norton Creek, and Martin Creek define the drainage of this region, which transitions into the protected lands of the Barbour County State Wildlife Management Area to the south. The mapping of McCalls Pond and McCains Lake provides specific points of interest for those tracing land use and small-scale water management in Barbour and Bullock counties during this era.
