1960 Map of Pollard

About this map

The Conecuh River flows along the southern edge of this 1960 landscape, where the confluence of numerous creeks shaped the early development of Escambia County. The dominant infrastructure of the era is the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which links the settlements of Pollard and Flomaton to smaller stops like Osaka and Wahl. A notable concentration of oil wells in the central sections suggests the industrial shift toward petroleum production during this period, alongside traditional operations like the Sandpit and Claypit. Local life centers around a network of country churches such as Beulah Ch and Catawba Springs Ch, with McCall Sch serving the rural population. The map also records family-linked landmarks like the Henderson Cem and Hollywood Cem, providing specific evidence for genealogical research in this border region near the Alabama-Florida state line.
