About this map

The rural landscape of Jasper County is defined by a dense network of watercourses and scattered community centers in the early 1960s. The settlement of Waldrup sits at a junction in the northwest, while the town of Heidelberg occupies the southeastern corner, serving as a hub for the local area. The terrain is deeply carved by the Tallahala Creek and its many tributaries, including Bogue Ealiah and Tallahattah Creek.

Social and communal life appears centered around numerous rural churches, such as Fairview Ch, Oakbowery Ch, and Philadelphia Ch, many of which are accompanied by small local cemeteries. The industrial activity of the period is evidenced by a Claypit and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the central hills, showing the intersection of traditional agriculture and emerging resource extraction. This survey, updated with 1980 photogrammetric data, preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies like Homo Bogue and Prairie Creek.
