About this map

Livingston serves as the academic and cultural hub of Sumter County on this mid-1970s survey, dominated by the campus of Livingston University and the path of the Alabama Great Southern railroad. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sucarnoochee River and its numerous tributaries, including Alamuchee Creek and Whiterock Creek. These waterways shaped the local geography, creating distinctive features like The Cutoff and Sumter Pond.

Rural community life is recorded through several family and community landmarks, such as Johnson Church and its nearby cemetery, as well as the County Training School. The map also captures mid-century social features, such as a Drive-in Theater and the Golf Course near the river. To the south, the small settlement at Hixon sits along the rail line, while various outlying churches like Pine Grove Church and Shady Grove Church mark the intersections of rural life.
