About this map

Milltown sits at the heart of this East Alabama landscape, where the Chikasanoxee Creek and its many tributaries like Caty Creek and Carlisle Creek carve through the terrain. In the late 1960s, this area was defined by its network of rural congregations and local landmarks, including The Greater Pine Hill Ch and the Mt Hickory Ch. The map captures a transition in the local social fabric, centered around the County High Sch and several small settlements like Clackville, Red Level, and Pooles Crossroad.

Boundary lines such as the Freeman Line and the border between Randolph and Chambers counties intersect the northern reaches, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad skirts the northwestern corner. The presence of numerous cemeteries near these country churches offers significant research value for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the state, away from the more industrialized centers of the era.
