About this map

Crawford serves as the primary settlement on this mid-century survey, situated along the border of the Lee Co Russell Co line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably the winding courses of Little Uchee Creek and the larger Uchee Creek to the south. These tributaries are linked by numerous crossings, including Bishop Bridge, Hichitee Bridge, and Big Uchee Bridge, which anchor the local transit patterns of the 1950s.

Rural life is marked by several neighborhood hubs such as St Pauls Ch, St Johns Ch, and the Uchee Sch. For genealogists, the map reveals specific family-named sites like Davis Cem and Bennett Cem, alongside the small community of Hugley. The convergence of Maringo Creek, Island Creek, and Whites Creek illustrates the heavily dissected terrain of this portion of Russell County before modern development significantly altered the drainage and road networks.
