1971 Map of Milo

About this map

The meandering Saline River defines the western edge of this 1970s survey, where the river's tight oxbows and remnant channels like Old River and Black Lake create a complex floodplain landscape along the boundary of Ashley and Bradley counties. The area is characterized by a high density of rural religious and community markers, suggesting a deeply rooted local history. Small settlements such as Milo and Old Milo serve as interior anchors, connected by a network of timber and farm roads that cross numerous drainages including Fountain Creek, Beech Creek, and Mill Creek.
