1979 Map of Pondville

About this map

The Pondville settlement sits at the center of a landscape heavily defined by timber and conservation, where the Oakmulgee Wildlife Management Area Boundary meets the Talladega National Forest. In this part of central Alabama, the terrain is carved by a dense network of waterways including Affonee Creek and Blue Girth Creek, while the Bibb Co and Perry Co line cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. The area's social history is recorded through numerous rural religious and burial sites, such as Union Grove Ch and the Mathis Cem near the eastern margin. A solitary Lookout Tower overlooking the creek valleys underscores the focus on forestry and fire management that shaped this region during the late twentieth century.
