1957 Map of Slocomb

About this map

The town of Slocomb anchors the northwestern corner of this mid-century survey, revealing the agricultural and social layout of Geneva County before the expansion of modern infrastructure. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, where Wrights Creek and its many tributaries like Davis Mill Creek and Log Pine Branch carve through the terrain. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting a high density of rural congregation points such as Christian Home Ch, County Line Ch, and New Hinson Ch. At the intersection of local roads and waterways, the settlement of Fadette appears alongside smaller landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Martin Cem. The arrangement of these churches and schools relative to the winding creeks illustrates how water and religion shaped the community boundaries of southern Alabama during this era.
