About this map

Pollard and Flomaton anchor this 1960s survey of southern Escambia County, where the Conecuh River meanders through bottomlands near the Florida border. The landscape is defined by its complex network of waterways, including Little Escambia Creek and Chavers Creek, which supported early regional infrastructure like the Jernigan Mill Creek. The Seaboard rail line provides a transit spine connecting small community hubs like Osaka, Wahl, and Keego.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the McCall Sch and several country churches such as Catawba Springs Ch and Fanny Ch. Numerous burial grounds are documented, from the large Green Acres Memorial Park to the smaller Henderson Cem. These features, alongside the pipeline and telephone lines, trace the mid-century modernization of this rural Alabama timber and agricultural corridor.
