1942 Map of Wilmer

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Escatappa River defines the western reaches of this 1941-1942 survey, winding south through the piney woods and wetlands along the Alabama and Mississippi state line. The landscape is marked by a network of rural settlements and agricultural clusters connected by early roads, with Wilmer and Semmes serving as primary local hubs. Local life in the early 1940s centered around small institutions like the Moffet Sch and Fellowship Ch, while the Garrison Fire Tower and Luce Fire Tower monitored the expansive timberlands from the higher ridges. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family burial grounds, including Semmes Cem and Georgetown Cem. Crossing points like the Howell Bridge over the river illustrate the vital transportation links for residents in outlying communities such as Macedonia and Warley.
