About this map

The boundary between Macon Co and Russell Co runs through this landscape of drainages and small rural settlements during the early 1970s. The community of Boromville serves as a local focal point, supported by the Boromville Cemetery, Borom Cemetery, and Providence Church. To the west, Creek Stand anchors a nearby cluster of activity near the Creek Stand Church and Cemetery.

Hydrology dictates the layout of the land, as the waters of Big Swamp and Opintlocco Swamp converge in the northwest corner. This area is defined by its transition from high ground, such as Pace Hill, down into the creek bottoms of Tanyard Creek and Hurtsboro Creek. The map documents a period of light industrial activity with various Sandpits and a Gravel Pit scattered near the road networks, while religious life is well-represented by rural landmarks like Andrews Chapel and Shady Grove Church.
