1972 Map of Apalachee

About this map

The Apalachee River flows through the center of this rural Georgia landscape, marking the borders between Morgan, Oconee, and Greene counties. During the early 1970s, the Central of Georgia railroad corridor anchored the small settlements of Apalachee and Bostwick, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the protected acreage of the Oconee National Forest. This survey captures a series of local landmarks and congregational hubs, including First St Pauls Ch and Second St Pauls Ch, alongside numerous small family or community cemeteries. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses like Big Sandy Creek and Hard Labor Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. Distinctive features such as Balance Rock and a strategically placed Lookout Tower reflect a mix of natural geology and forest management typical of the Piedmont region.
