1955 Map of Lamont SE

About this map

The Aucilla River winds through this landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor Counties. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and the broad expanse of Anderson Bay in the north, punctuated by numerous small depressions and water bodies like Lake Jackson. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground near the river, with small communities like Lamont and Eridu connected by rural roads. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several rural institutions, including the Allison Sch and Green Grove Sch, along with many family-named burial grounds. The distribution of Mt Olive Ch and Mt Gilead Ch reflects the community centers of the mid-20th century, while the presence of a Gaging Sta and multiple Borrow Pit sites indicates the era's focus on water management and road construction.
