1944 Map of Perdido

About this map

Atmore and its surrounding coastal plain communities are detailed during the mid-1940s, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of the St Louis - San Francisco RR and several local transit lines. The map documents a rural network of schools and churches, such as Judson Ch, Travelers Rest Ch, and the Langham Lottie Sch, which served the scattered timber and farming settlements. Evidence of the region's industrial ties to forestry is visible through the Logging RR branching through the center of the sheet and the inclusion of the Atmore Airport at the edge of the growing town.
