1970 Map of Jefferson

About this map

The Tombigbee River-Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway defines the western edge of this landscape, separating Marengo and Sumter counties. Along its banks, traditional river access points like Simmons Landing and Paces Landing sit near the modern Demopolis Municipal Airport, illustrating the shift from river-based transport to regional aviation. Further inland, the settlement of Jefferson anchors the southern portion of the sheet, while the rural communities of Moscow and surrounding areas are marked by several local landmarks. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the locations of Bethel Ch, Friendship Ch, and Mt Zion Ch alongside the Essex Sch. The rail infrastructure is well-represented by the crossing of the Southern and Burlington Northern lines, which cut through the central terrain near Salt Well and the industrial Filtration Plant.
