1979 Map of Pondville

About this map

Pondville serves as the central settlement in this late-1970s landscape, positioned near the intersection of Blue Girth Creek and Spring. The terrain is characterized by its network of watercourses, including Affonee Creek and Yeager Branch, which carve through the dense timberlands of the Talladega National Forest. For researchers, the map provides a look at rural community life through its numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Friendship Ch and the Mathis Cem. An Old Railroad Grade and a Pipeline traverse the western and central portions of the quadrangle, indicating the shift from rail-based commerce to modern industrial infrastructure. This survey captures the region just as local industry, represented by scattered Gravel Pits, operated alongside traditional land use at the Bibb Co Perry Co boundary.
