About this map

Paint Rock River winds through the heart of this valley landscape, defining the local geography as it flows past Paint Rock and Garth. The area is characterized by a series of significant mountain landforms, including Keel Mountain and Bingham Mountain, which are cut by numerous hollows and coves. The Southern Railway runs parallel to the Lee Highway, providing a vital transportation corridor connecting the communities of Gurley and Woodville.

Social and historical foundations are evident through numerous community landmarks, such as the Conyers-Rosenwald School and several rural churches like Antioch Ch and Shiloh Ch. The map records an extensive genealogical landscape with more than a dozen named burial sites, including Rousseau Cem and Latham Cem. Land use patterns are further illustrated by the Lacy Reservation and the industrial-era site of Walker Mill Ford, offering a detailed view of the region's mid-century rural development.
