1984 Map of Wittsburg

About this map

Crowleys Ridge dominates the western half of this landscape, its elevated topography creating a sharp contrast with the alluvial lowlands of the St Francis River to the east. The ridge provides a natural anchor for Village Creek State Park, which encompasses recreational waters like Lake Dunn and Lake Austell. This 1984 survey, revised in 1992, documents the transition from the upland forests of the ridge to the engineered water management systems of the delta, including the massive St Francis Floodway and the Grassy Lake Cutoff.
