1972 Map of Flynns Lake

About this map

The Alabama River winds through the heart of the Monroe and Clarke county line, defining a landscape of active landings and riverfront commerce as it appeared in the early 1970s. This stretch of the river is marked by historic access points including Dale Ferry Landing, Howard Landing, and Baileys Landing, suggesting a long history of water-based transport before modern infrastructure took hold. High ground at Marshalls Bluff overlooks the meandering channel and the wetlands surrounding Flynns Lake. Local community life is anchored by numerous country churches, such as Mt Gilead Ch, Jamestown Ch, and Sunflower Ch, which dot the rural road network. An industrial presence is noted by a Quarry situated near Hollinger Creek, while the interior is drained by a system of named waterways including Marshalls Creek and Randons Creek.
