1987 Map of Tilden

About this map

Pine Barren Creek meanders through the central landscape of this 1980s survey, marking the transition between the rolling uplands of Tilden and the low-lying waters of the Alabama River. The map captures a moment in the local economy and recreation following the development of the William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir, which dominates the northwestern corner. The boundary between Dallas and Wilcox counties cuts across the creek, illustrating the rural character of the region. Local industry is evidenced by the presence of a Clay Pit and Gravel Pit, while the establishment of Roland Cooper State Park and a prominent Boat Ramp suggests the area's significance for regional water-based activities and public land use.
