1968 Map of Grady

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the center of this landscape, anchoring small settlements like Grady and Kent as it follows the drainage of Patsaliga Creek. This 1960s survey captures a rural landscape where three Alabama counties—Montgomery, Crenshaw, and Pike—converge. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and local sites of gathering, such as Mt Canaan Ch and Rockelyn Ch, and small crossroads like Helicon and Bradleyton. Numerous small ponds and water features, including Mays Pond, Trotter Pond, and Petrey Pond, are scattered across the creek-fed lowlands, reflecting a landscape defined by local agriculture and natural drainage. To the east, larger bodies of water like Sanders Lake and Menefee Lake sit near the county line, while features like Bogle Hole Cave hint at the unique subterranean geology of the region.
