1968 Map of Grady

About this map

The confluence of Patsaliga Creek and Weaver Mill Creek anchors this rural Alabama landscape at the junction of Crenshaw, Montgomery, and Pike Counties. Small settlements and crossroads communities define the social geography of the late 1960s, including Grady, Helicon, and Shady Grove. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving as a primary corridor through the creek bottoms and low hills like Collier Hill. Local history is preserved in the numerous country churches and family-named landmarks such as Mt Canaan Ch, Garner Cem, and Fannin Cem. The map also captures distinctive geographic features like Bogie Hole Cave and Flowing Well, alongside several agricultural ponds and lakes including Mays Pond and Sanders Lake, illustrating a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local land management.
