About this map

Uchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Uchee Creek and Maringo Creek, carve through the landscape of Russell County in this mid-century survey. The settlement of Crawford serves as a central point along the main road, now known as 80, surrounded by a network of rural life. The map reveals the community's social foundations through numerous religious and educational sites, such as St Pauls Ch, St Johns Ch, and the Uchee Sch.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through several burial grounds, including Bellamy Cem and Davis Cem. The infrastructure of the era is well-documented, showing the transition from older river crossings like Big Uchee Bridge and Little Uchee Bridge to modern developments like the large Pipeline crossing the northern terrain. This topographic study reflects a period of established rural settlement before the more intensive development of the late 20th century.
