About this map

The Central of Georgia Railroad carves a path through the northeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring the village of Bolingbroke. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Tobesofkee Creek and Echeconnee Creek, which cross the boundaries between Monroe, Bibb, and Crawford counties. This mid-century survey reveals a rural community deeply connected by its institutions, featuring numerous country churches like Salem Ch and St Paul Ch, alongside the Johns Chapel Ch and school.

Institutional footprints are prominent, notably the Montpelier Institute and Montpelier Station, suggesting the enduring significance of 19th-century educational and transport hubs. Further south, Camp Martha Johnston and schools like Redding Sch and Hopewell Sch illustrate the mid-century social landscape. Small settlements such as Lizella, Moran, and Lorane dot the intersections of routes like the Central Georgia Highway and Thomaston Road.
