1973 Map of Lower Peach Tree

About this map

The Alabama River flows through this southwestern Alabama landscape, forming the primary geographic artery for the communities of Lower Peach Tree and Nettleboro. In the early 1970s, the river valley transitioned into the Claiborne Lake reservoir system, supporting local recreation such as the Picnic Area Boat Ramp. The upland terrain is defined by a dense network of churches and burial grounds that anchor the rural social structure, including New Mt Moriah Ch, St Thomas Ch, and the Lower Peach Tree Cem. A historical Indian Treaty Bdy cuts through the western portion of the map, marking an older layer of political geography. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout the hills suggest a local industry reliant on the area's geological deposits, while waterways like Silver Creek and Cane Creek drain the undulating hills into the river basin.
