1972 Map of Uriah West

About this map

Uriah serves as a primary hub for this rural stretch of the Gulf Coastal Plain, where timber and agriculture define the landscape near the Monroe and Escambia county line. The topography is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Watters Creek, Beaverdam Creek, and Butterfork Creek, which cut through the moderately elevated terrain of Jenny Bell Hill. To the south, the Little River State Forest indicates the importance of managed timberlands in the region's economy during the early 1970s.
