About this map

Arlington stands as the primary hub of this Southwest Georgia landscape, situated at the intersection of the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Coast Line railroads. The town's grid reflects a rail-driven economy, evidenced by its storage facilities and industrial infrastructure near the tracks. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of fields and wooded creeks, including the drainage of Mill Creek and Boggy Creek.

Rural life is anchored by a network of small settlements and places of worship, such as Nicholasville and Rowena. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including Thomas Grove Ch, Kiokee Ch, and Mt Zion Ch. The map also captures specialized land uses of the era, from the Landing Strip east of town to the Sheffield Millpond on the eastern edge of Early County, providing a clear record of the region's agricultural and social geography in the mid-1970s.
