1957 Map of Geneva East

About this map

The confluence of the Pea River and the Choctawhatchee River anchors the community of Geneva in this late-1950s landscape. This survey documents the intersection of river-based geography and the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which tracks through the southern portion of the county through settlements like Eunola, Thurston, and Black. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning from older milling sites like Vanlandingham Mill and Wheeler Mill Branch toward modern mid-century markers, including a Drive-in Theater near Kellys Crossroads and multiple Landing Fields. Genealogists will find numerous rural landmarks preserved here, from Oak Grove School and Providence Church to the Carter Cemetery, alongside smaller waterways like Schuille Mill Branch and Ice Factory Branch.
