1956 Map of Bolingbroke

About this map

Montpelier Institute stands as a focal point in the rolling middle Georgia landscape, situated near the intersection of Monroe and Bibb counties. This mid-century survey captures a network of rural communities connected by the Central of Georgia Railroad and historical routes like the Dixie Highway. The region is defined by numerous small congregations and educational sites, including the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the importance of community centers in the post-war South. Waterways such as Tobesofkee Creek and Echeconnee Creek carve through the terrain, while settlements like Bolingbroke and Smarr anchor the northern rail line. From the Girl Scout grounds at Camp Martha Johnston to the scattered schools like Redding Sch, the map reveals a deeply established social fabric of family-named landmarks and rural institutions.
