1972 Map of Bastonville

About this map

The Central Of Georgia railroad corridor cuts diagonally across this rural landscape, serving as a primary transit artery between the small settlements of Harts and Bastonville. This early 1970s topographical record captures the agricultural and timber character of the borderlands between Glascock, Warren, and McDuffie counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Rocky Comfort Creek and Little Brier Creek, which feed into numerous named branches such as Storm Branch and Darden Branch. Social life in this era is anchored by dispersed country churches, including Little Brier Creek Ch, Stamp Branch Ch, Magnolia Ch, and Thankful Ch, several of which are accompanied by small cemeteries. The presence of a pipeline and a jeep trail in the western reaches suggests industrial and recreational utility amidst the heavily wooded branches and ridges of the Georgia interior.
