1957 Map of Letohatchee

About this map

Pintlalla Creek meanders through the heart of this central Alabama landscape, defining the rural character of the borderlands between Montgomery, Lowndes, and Crenshaw counties. The mid-century transport network is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville RR in the west and the Atlantic Coast Line RR in the east, facilitating the movement of goods through settlements like Letohatchee and Snowdoun. This era shows a dense social fabric of country churches and schools, such as New Pleasant Valley Ch, Snowdoun Valley Ch, and Sandy Ridge Sch. Evidence of local industry and water management is visible at Butler Mill and numerous private water bodies like Flowers Lake and Dams Lakes No 1. For genealogists, the map is particularly helpful for locating family-named landmarks and small burial grounds including Shackelford Cem and Hickory Grove Cem.
