About this map

Coal Fire Creek and Woolbank Creek carve a network of drainage patterns across this rural landscape in Pickens County, Alabama, during the mid-1960s. The area is defined by its small, dispersed community centers, often organized around spiritual and educational landmarks like Spring Hill Ch and its namesake Spring Hill Sch. Further south, the County Training Sch and Big Creek Cem suggest established social hubs within the farming and timber terrain.

A prominent Pipeline cuts a straight path across the natural contours of the hills, marking the infrastructure development of the era. This 1966 topography, later updated with photorevised data in the 1980s, reveals a mix of subsistence and industrial activity, from numerous scattered Gravel Pits to the winding course of Kincaide Creek and Snake Creek. The map provides a clear view of the road network connecting remote churches such as Cross Roads Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch.
