1987 Map of Holtville

About this map

Jordan Lake and the Coosa River dominate this Central Alabama landscape, where the rising waters of the mid-20th century transformed the river valley into a complex shoreline of inlets and points. The area around Holtville and Titus retains its rural character, marked by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds such as Rivers Chapel Cem and Holman Cem. Industrial history is visible along the winding path of Weoka Creek, which supported operations at Sykes Mill and Weoka Mills. To the south, the presence of Camp Chandler (YMCA) on the banks of Jordan Lake signifies the region's shift toward recreation. Other small settlements like Buyck are mapped alongside numerous feeder streams, including Pinkston Creek and Welona Creek, which continue to shape the wooded topography of Elmore County.
