1950 Map of Laurel Hill

About this map

Laurel Hill and Florala anchor this mid-century survey along the Alabama-Florida border, where the rural landscape is defined by the Conecuh National Forest and a dense network of creek-fed bays. The Louisville and Nashville RR cuts through the region, connecting smaller settlements like Svea, Paxton, and Lakewood to larger markets. In the south, the Shoal River meanders through cypress-laden wetlands, including Pennywinkle Bay and Teal Bay.
