1971 Map of Hardaway

About this map

Cubahatchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Sleepy Creek, dominate this part of Macon County. The landscape is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which links the small communities of Hardaway and Downs. This area shows a dense network of local landmarks vital for genealogical research, with numerous rural congregations such as Damascus Ch, Beulah Ch, and Union Oak Grove Ch scattered across the creek valleys. Near the northern edge, the settlement of La Place sits alongside family-named sites like Cole Cem. The transition into Bullock County at the southwestern corner is marked by Bagnall Cr, reflecting a mid-century rural Alabama economy still closely tied to the watercourses and rail lines that supported these historic crossroads.
