About this map

The Seaboard railroad corridor anchors this survey of central Butler County, Alabama, connecting the northern timberlands near Bolling to the industrial and civic hubs of Chapman and Georgiana. In the southern reaches, Georgiana displays a developed grid featuring Oakwood Ave, the R L Austin High Sch, and essential infrastructure like the Armory and a Radio Tower. The map provides a detailed view of the local landscape before later modernization, highlighting the extensive Butler County Wildlife Management Area and its network of watercourses including Rocky Creek and Brushy Creek.

Rural community life is well-documented through numerous country churches and family-named landmarks. Sites such as Antioch West Ch, Kennie Chapel, and the Miller Cem offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The industrial character of the era is evident at the Mc Gowin Landing Strip and the Sandpits near the rail line, while the Locomotive Roadside Park stands as a specific cultural marker of the region's transportation history.
