About this map

The community of Leona sits at the intersection of State Highway 977 and U.S. 75, surrounded by a landscape of creeks and small family-named landmarks. This mid-1960s survey documents the rural character of Leon County, where life centered around institutions like the Washington Perkins Sch, Mount Zion Ch, and Hillery Chapel. To the north, the historic Fort Boggy (Site) is noted near Hayden Mountain, reflecting the area's early frontier history.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and a Gasoline Plant, while the extensive network of waterways, including Lower Keechi Creek and Mustang Creek, defines the drainage patterns. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem, Woodward Cem, and the uniquely named Masumsum Cem, many located near their respective churches or along quiet country branches.
