About this map

Alston and Uvalda anchor this 1970 landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a straight path through the drainage basins of Oconee Creek and Alligator Creek. The area is defined by its small, dispersed rural communities and an intricate network of family and community landmarks. Researchers will find numerous ecclesiastical and burial sites, including Mt Calvary Ch and New Corinth Ch, along with the Old Cedar Crossing Cem near the settlement of Cedar Crossing.

The Montgomery Co Toombs Co line winds irregularly through the center of the sheet, often following an indefinite boundary that contrasts with the geometric precision of the rail line. Small watercourses like Buckhorn Creek and Gator Creek feed into the larger creek systems, illustrating the local topography that shaped the placement of early homesites and cemeteries like Sharpe Cem and Williams Cem.
