1960 Map of Pollard

About this map

The Conecuh River snakes through the bottomlands of the Alabama-Florida border, defining the southern landscape of this 1960 survey. Near the junction of the Louisville And Nashville railroad lines, the established settlements of Pollard and Flomaton anchor a region defined by its timber and oil potential. Evidence of the local extraction economy is visible in the scattered Oil Well and Oil Wells clusters south of Osaka, while industrial activity is further noted at the Gravel Pit and Sandpit sites. This era captures the transition from traditional river-and-rail commerce to modern infrastructure, marked by the presence of a Pipeline and Telephone Line traversing the terrain.
