1987 Map of Vida

About this map

Illinois Central Gulf rail lines and a network of creeks define the rural landscape of Autauga County in this 1987 provisional survey. The settlement of Vida serves as a central point, with Vida Junction and Haynes to the north and Joffre to the east. The map captures a moment when traditional community landmarks—such as Big Springs Ch, Bethesda Ch, and Peace Ch—still anchored the social geography of the area. For genealogists, several family-named burial sites are recorded, including Jones Cem and Carter Cem. The presence of a major Pipeline and 2 Gas Pipelines running through the drainage basins of Swift Creek and Little Mulberry Creek illustrates the integration of modern infrastructure into this agricultural and wooded terrain.
