About this map

Between sits at the center of this mid-1960s survey of Walton County, functioning as a crossroads for the rural agricultural landscape surrounding it. The map reveals a high density of community landmarks essential to 20th-century Georgia country life, including the West Walton Sch and a deep network of local congregations such as New Hope Ch, Sardis Ch, and Carters Hill Ch. These sites, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Jones Cem and Guthrie Cem, provide a precise record of the social and genealogical geography of the era.

The physical landscape is defined by the Alcovy River and its many tributaries, including Bay Creek and Gum Creek. Small-scale water features like Stuarts Lake and Byrds Lake dot the terrain, while the settlement at Split Silk and the community of Youth mark the periphery. Notable infrastructure of the period includes a Quarry, several pipelines, and a Metering Station, indicating the industrial and utility growth occurring alongside traditional farming.
