About this map

Moorefield and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Chambers County appear here as they were documented in the early 1970s. This survey emphasizes the rural connectivity of the region, anchored by small community centers like Liberty Crossroads and Sturkie. The land is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Little Chatahospee Creek and Little Sandy Creek, which navigate the undulating terrain characteristic of east Alabama.

Social and educational foundations of the era are clearly marked, featuring Chambers Academy and a variety of country churches such as St Johns Ch and New Mt Sellers Ch. The southern edge of the map identifies the settlement of Oak Bowery, while the eastern corridor is shaped by the Central of Georgia railroad line. A notable landscape modification, Moores Cut, reflects the intersection of rail infrastructure and local topography near the community of Boyds.
