About this map

The Conecuh River winds through the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, marking a region defined by agricultural crossroads and burgeoning industrial activity. At Glenwood, the Central of Georgia railroad creates a hub for local commerce, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by significant extractive activity at several locations marked as Strip Mine. The map reveals a dense network of spiritual and communal centers, including Star Hope Ch, Athens Ch, and Bethel Ch, alongside rural nodes like Social Town and Shirleys Crossroads.

Land use patterns here show a distinct shift toward resource extraction near Providence Creek and Gin Creek. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of Emmaus Cem and Bethel Cem. Water features such as Bozeman Pond and Mandy Warren Lake define the drainage basins feeding into the larger river system, providing a clear look at the Crenshaw and Pike County borderlands during a period of industrial change.
