1970 Map of Haleburg

About this map

Haleburg and the rural communities of eastern Henry County are defined by a network of dendritic stream systems including Abbie Creek and Foster Creek. This 1970 survey shows a landscape dominated by agricultural patterns, where small hamlets like Balkum and Tumbleton serve as local anchors. Family and community life is centered around numerous country houses of worship, such as Union Ch, Adoniram Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch, many of which are situated alongside small burial grounds like the Balkum Cem and Culpepper Cem. The placement of these landmarks along ridges above the winding branches of Peterman Creek and Sandy Creek illustrates the historic settlement patterns of the Wiregrass region. Notable infrastructure includes a Gaging Sta on Abbie Creek and a Radio Tower near Browns Crossroads, reflecting the mix of traditional rural life and mid-century technical utility.
