1968 Map of Youngblood

About this map

The Conecuh River meanders through this portion of Pike County, creating a landscape of wide bottomlands and winding tributaries like Beeman Creek and Double Branch. The rail infrastructure of the late twentieth century is prominent, featuring the Seaboard Coast Line running east-west and the Central of Georgia Road crossing through the southern portion of the map. Smaller communities and rural hubs such as Youngblood and Hephzibah are detailed alongside numerous religious and burial sites that serve as vital records for local genealogy. Notable landmarks include the Troy Municipal Airport and the Greene Hills Memorial Cem near the outskirts of Troy. The area shows a transition from the structured town environment to the riparian marshlands near Carters Pond and Whaleys Pond, illustrating the importance of water management and transport to the local economy.
