1969 Map of Cottonwood

About this map

The town of Cottonwood serves as the central hub of this late-1960s survey, situated along the Atlanta And Saint Andrews Bay railroad line. This coastal plain landscape in Houston County is defined by its agricultural and religious network, with numerous small congregations like Union Hill Ch, St Marys Ch, and Harpers Joy Ch dotting the countryside. The southern edge of the map follows the Alabama Florida state line and the east-west Base Line, where the terrain shifts into the marshy lowlands of Pittman Bay and the drainage of Spring Creek. Smaller settlements such as Sealy Springs and Hodgesville reflect the rural character of the era. The presence of several family-named landmarks, including Terry Crossroads and Smiths Pond, provides valuable points of reference for local family history and genealogical research.
