1971 Map of Equality

About this map

The winding inlets of Martin Lake define the eastern and southern edges of this 1971 survey, where the rising water transformed the local terrain into a complex system of fingers and peninsulas. Away from the shoreline, the landscape remains a network of country roads and small communities like Equality and Nixburg. This area, situated where Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Elmore counties converge, is rich in local landmarks, including the Bethesda Ch and several family-named burial grounds like Shiloh Cem. A rare Covered Br is noted on Oakachoy Creek, highlighting a survival of older transport infrastructure. The map records the rural economy of the time through features like a Gravel Pit and a Claypit, while documenting the spiritual and community centers of the hill country, such as Friendship Ch and Good Grove Ch.
