1971 Map of Crawley

About this map

Crawley and Bolen serve as the primary focal points of this 1970s landscape, positioned along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The map reveals a rural community structure defined by its numerous faith-based centers, including Elizabeth Chapel, Adventist Ch, and Corinth Ch. The terrain is deeply influenced by the intricate drainage systems of Hurricane Creek and Little Hurricane Creek, which create vast marshy areas and wetlands interspersed with timber and farmland. For genealogists, the inclusion of family-named landmarks like Sweat Cem and Lee Chapel Cem provides specific points for tracing local family roots. The transition between Bacon Co, Ware Co, and Pierce Co is marked by irregular boundaries following the natural flow of watercourses like Big Branch and Mill Branch.
