About this map

Murder Creek and the West Sepulga River define the undulating landscape of south Alabama in this early 1970s survey. The map details a rural geography split by the Monroe Co / Conecuh Co line, where the small settlement of Skinnerton serves as a local crossroads. High ground near the county boundary is marked by the McWilliams Lookout Tower, reflecting the importance of forestry in this region.

A network of country roads connects isolated community centers and houses of worship, including Mt Pleasant Ch, Savannah Ch, and Lone Star Ch. The settlement at Riley and the junction at Midway anchor the northwestern portion of the sheet, while numerous unlabelled family cemeteries and small creek systems like Robinson Creek and Flat Creek provide essential markers for genealogical research and local history studies in these two counties.
