About this map

The Current River and Black River meander through a landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands in this late 1960s survey. Settlements like Reyno and Biggers occupy the higher ground between the river systems, while much of the southern territory is dedicated to the Black River State Game Area. The map reveals a history of changing transport and industry, from the Old Railroad Grade running northwest to the industrial presence of a Gas plant and Pumping Station near the river banks.

Local historians can identify numerous family burial grounds, including the Old Reyno Cem, Johnston Cem, and Scott Cem, which provide a genealogical record of the valley's settlement. Distinctive terrain features such as Sore Eye Point and Pig Ridge break the low-lying basin, which is punctuated by oxbows like Peachtree Lake and Sparkman Lake. The presence of an Indian Mound near Gum Ridge Slough further indicates the long-standing human presence along these waterways.
