1963 Map of Springfield

About this map

The Natalbany River and Tickfaw River define the water-bound landscape of this Livingston Parish region during the early 1960s. The settlement of Springfield serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds that speak to the area's deep-rooted social fabric. Notable religious and educational landmarks include the Hungarian Ch and the Albany-Springfield High Sch, alongside numerous smaller congregations like Jerusalem Ch and St James Ch. To the south, the landscape transitions into the riverine reaches of the Tickfaw River, where features like Warsaw Landing, Rose Mound, and Brier Patch Island highlight the importance of the river systems. The map also captures the smaller communities of Wadesboro and Rosaryville, providing a detailed view of the rural homesteads and cemeteries, such as Carters Cem and Galilee Cem, that anchor the local genealogy.
