About this map

Providence and Starlington anchor this rural Butler County landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including the winding courses of Long Creek, Panther Creek, and Oaklog Creek. This era of the map shows a community organized around its spiritual and social centers, evidenced by the numerous local houses of worship such as Mt Pisgah Ch, Shady Hill Ch, and Morrow Ch.

Strategic vantage points and family history are preserved here, notably through the Starlington Lookout Tower and burial grounds like Stamps Cem. The survey captures the southeastern periphery of the area near the growing town of Georgiana, where the transition from dense creek bottoms to more developed road networks begins. Small water features like Casey Pond and Wise Pond dot the landscape, illustrating the water-rich geography of southern Alabama before significant modern expansion.
