1953 Map of Margerum

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Mississippi Alabama State Line cuts through this landscape where the waters of Pickwick Lake meet the mouth of Bear Creek. In the early 1950s, the area reflects a transition from traditional river valley life to a recreation-centered economy, evidenced by the development of the Buchanan Peninsula Cabin Area and Crenshaw Cam along the shoreline. Further inland, the map captures the industrial footprint of the Alabama Asphaltic Limestone Company (Aband) near Margerum, providing a clear look at the quarrying history that once drove the local economy.
