Description
Summary:Page 12 from a series of township maps of Montgomery County, Alabama. The following are visible: the city of Montgomery, Lagoon Park, the Dalraida subdivision, Lincoln Cemetery [Montgomery's first commercial cemetery for African Americans], the Standard Club [Montgomery's longtime Jewish country club], and the "Negro Catholic School." (See CB0017_12b to view the township's property owners.) The page is signed by delineator Ben F. Randall. These maps were drawn by WPA workers under the supervision of Paul Grimes, an engineer with the State Highway Department, and they are based on information compiled in 1936 by the Alabama Relief Administration from county probate records. Each of the township maps includes a list of property owners in the area that is also illustrated on the map itself.
