1973 Map of Coy

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Alabama River bends sharply through Wilcox County, defining a landscape shaped by both industrial utility and rural community life in the early 1970s. The northern reaches show a concentrated industrial zone at Yellow Bluff, where industrial waste ponds and a waterworks sit near the St Louis - San Francisco railroad line. This commercial footprint contrasts with the dense network of small rural institutions found further south. Small settlements like Coy and Nellie are anchored by family-named landmarks and local centers of faith such as St Emanuel Ch and New Providence Ch. The transition to Claiborne Lake in the southeast reflects the river's changing character, while numerous gravel pits and the presence of the Tate Jr High Sch and Coy Sch underscore the active local economy and civic life of this river-bound region.
