1974 Map of Copeland

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this landscape, marking a historical divide near the Alabama Mississippi state line. In the mid-1970s, the rural character of this border region was defined by small clusters like Copeland and Belmont, with much of the land dedicated to timber and intermittent resource extraction at local sites like the Sandpit. A heavy concentration of community pillars, including Lewis Chapel, Antioch Ch, and Pine Tree Ch, indicates the enduring social fabric of these remote settlements.
