1969 Map of Wadley South

About this map

The Tallapoosa River carves a dramatic path through the landscape of Chambers County, most notably at the sweeping turn of Muleshoe Bend. This late-1960s environment is defined by its small rural crossroads and river-dependent topography, featuring uniquely named settlements like Frog Eye and the river crossing at Bibbys Ferry. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs parallel to the river corridor, supporting local communities such as Abanda and Wadley. Numerous spiritual and communal landmarks dot the terrain, including Antioch Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Shiloh. The geography is further characterized by its dense network of tributaries, including Chikasanoxee Creek and High Pine Creek, which historically dictated the placement of schools like the High Sch and several small Gravel Pits that suggest local industry in this transitional period.
