About this map

Troy serves as the focal point of this Pike County survey, centered around its civic core and the growing campus of Troy State Univ. The town's grid is established by prominent routes like Orion St and Walnut St, with local landmarks such as the Courthouse, City Hall, and Academy St High Sch anchoring the community. Beyond the city center, the landscape is defined by the winding Conecuh River and several family-named landmarks, including McClure Town and Corcoran.

Transportation corridors like the Seaboard Coast Line and Central of Georgia railroads cut through the terrain, connecting rural outposts and family burial grounds like Griffins Cem and Kendrick Cem. The map reveals a transition from the urban density of the county seat to agricultural lands and wooded branches, dotted with country churches like Wesley Chapel and Antioch Ch. Purple revisions highlight the expansion of neighborhoods and infrastructure, such as the Sewage Disposal plants and new residential developments, as the area modernized during the mid-20th century.
