1981 Map of Mc Williams

About this map

McWilliams serves as a central point in this part of southern Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Bear Creek and Grindstone Creek. The map documents a rural corridor at the border of Wilcox Co Monroe Co, where small settlements like Schuster and Ruthven were once linked by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Grade. The survey reveals a community anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch and Hopewell Cem, reflecting the area's genealogical and social history. Toward the eastern edge, the terrain levels out around Lake Jane and Lake Patrick, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade suggests an evolving transportation network as timber and agricultural patterns shifted in the late twentieth century. These details provide a clear view of the rural infrastructure near Pine Apple and Old Texas as it existed in the mid-1970s.
