1966 Map of Kilmichael

About this map

Kilmichael serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the Columbus and Greenville railroad line and a highway network that includes a local Roadside Park. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Black River and the engineered Big Black River Canal, which manage drainage across the region's southern half. Numerous family-named landmarks and institutions provide a window into the rural social fabric of Montgomery County, including the Vocational High Sch and a series of rural sanctuaries like Pleasant Grove Ch and Nations Poplar Creek Ch. The presence of Sandpits and a Claypit near the main settlement suggests the importance of local material extraction during this era of development. Small communities such as Sibleyton and Hendrix are also documented, alongside several cemeteries including Flowers Cem and Griffin Cem.
