1969 Map of Texasville

About this map

Texasville and the surrounding rural landscape of the Barbour and Henry county line are characterized by a dense network of country churches and small family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Choctawhatchee River and numerous tributaries such as Lindsey Creek and Beaver Creek. Evidence of local community life is scattered throughout the hills, from the Blue Springs Sch in the west to the tiny settlement of Edwin in the east. Numerous religious centers, including St Peters Ch, Adams Chapel, and Triumph Ch, serve as focal points for the dispersed population. Topographical features like Shipes Hill and Medley Hill rise above the wetlands of Spencers Pond and Lingo Pond, while the Radio Tower (WGIQ) stands as a modern marker in the agricultural heartland during the late 1960s.
