1974 Map of Epes West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sumterville and the surrounding west Alabama countryside are documented here as they appeared in the mid-1970s. This survey records a landscape defined by small rural clusters and numerous family or community burial grounds, such as the Eskeridge-Pettigrew Cem and Brown Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of local waterways like Turkey Creek and Jones Creek, while the Southern railroad line cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle near Epes. The map also captures infrastructure developments of the era, including a noted Pumping Station and a corridor marked as a proposed location for a new route. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the exact locations of several small churches and cemeteries, including the Shiloh Cem and Jones Creek Ch, which served these dispersed farming communities.
