About this map

Lower Keechi Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Keechi Creek and Reed Creek, carve through this section of Leon County during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural settlements such as North Salem, South Salem, and Friendship, each connected by a network of light-duty roads and unimproved trails. The presence of several gas wells and multiple pipelines indicates the importance of local energy extraction to the area's economy during this period.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Old Upton Cem, Liberty Cem, and Curtiss Cem. Religious life is anchored at Mount Lily Ch near the prominent elevation of Mount Lily. Water features like Upper Flag Pond and Lower Flag Pond contrast with the higher ground, while the settlement of Robbins sits at the southwestern corner of the survey near Spring Branch.
