About this map

Mc Kenzie serves as a central hub in this early 1970s landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a diagonal path through south-central Alabama. The map documents a dense network of country churches and small family landmarks, including Olive Branch Ch, Kokomo Ch, and Welcome Ch, illustrating the social fabric of the rural communities surrounding Georgiana.

Land use is defined by a complex drainage system featuring Persimmon Creek, Brushy Creek, and Pigeon Creek, which together carve the terrain of the Butler Co and Conecuh Co border. Educational and commemorative sites like the South Butler Academy and Friendship Cem provide specific points of interest for those researching local lineage or the geographic footprint of vanished settlements like Avant and Shreve.
