About this map

Frisco City serves as the primary hub of this Monroe County landscape, where the St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts a diagonal path through the countryside. The rail-oriented layout of the town is complemented by outlying settlements like Megargel, Manistee, and Mexboro. These small communities are tethered together by a network of rural roads and localized industry, evidenced by the Gravel Pit and Claypit operations found near the watercourses.

Social and family history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous country churches, including Bright Morning Star Ch and Shiloh Ch. The map records specific burial sites such as Baas Cem and Lilly Ch Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research. Water features like Randons Creek and Big Escambia Creek define the drainage of the area, while the placement of the Middle Sch near the town center highlights the mid-century civic arrangement of this Alabama region.
