About this map

The settlement of Industry and the rural community of Oaky Streak anchor this 1971 survey of south Alabama. Located along the border where Butler and Covington counties meet, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries, including Tiger Branch and Bennett Branch. The region's social geography is mapped through a network of country churches, such as Consolation Ch and Oaky Streak Ch, which often stand as the primary landmarks in these upland woods and drainage basins.

In the southern reaches, the village of Boykin sits near the headwaters of Turkey Creek and Little Poplar Creek, while Patsaliga Creek cuts through the southeastern corner. The map also records early water management and family legacies through features like Wyrosdick Pond and Davenport Pond. This document offers a clear view of the area's transition between agricultural fields and managed timberlands before modern residential expansion altered the rural character of the county line.
