1955 Map of Crawford

About this map

The community of Crawford serves as a central hub in this mid-century survey of the Alabama borderlands, situated just south of the Lee Co Russell Co line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Uchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Maringo Creek and Whites Little Uchee Creek. This era of the 1950s shows a rural landscape dotted with small community landmarks essential for local history and genealogy, such as St Pauls Ch and St Johns Ch. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, including Davis Cem and Uchee Chapel Cem, alongside the Uchee Sch, illustrates a dispersed but established agricultural society. Significant water features like Dudley Lake and Clarks Lake are shown alongside key transit points such as Little Uchee Bridge, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and infrastructure before modern development patterns intensified in the region.
