About this map

Loachapoka and its surrounding countryside are the focus of this study, which reflects the rural landscape of Lee and Macon counties during the early 1970s. The town's historical foundations are evident in features like the Loachapoka Cem and the Loachapoka Jr High Sch. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual centers, with St Matthew Ch, High Hope Ch, and Armstrong Ch scattered through the interior.

Industry and transport intersect along the Seaboard railroad line, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of the Tuskegee National Forest. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the small settlement of Beehive indicate a landscape shaped by local extraction and dispersed agriculture. Waterways like Choctafaula Creek and Hodnett Creek define the drainage patterns of this territory, providing the geographic boundaries that have historically separated these Alabama communities.
