About this map

Bolingbroke serves as a central hub on this mid-1970s survey, where the Central of Georgia rail line cuts through the landscape alongside modern interstate developments. This era of transit history is captured at the boundary of Monroe Co and Bibb Co, showing the transition of the rural landscape near the smaller community of Lorane. The map records a dense network of country churches, including St Paul Ch, Salem Ch, and Jobes Chapel, reflecting the long-standing community centers of the Georgia piedmont.

Waterways like Tobler Creek and Colaparchee Creek define the drainage of the area, while features such as Pea Ridge offer distinctive elevation. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named roads like Wadley Road and Whittle Road, which lead to sites like Wadley Cem. The map's 1985 photorevisions highlight the infrastructure growth of the early 1980s, including sewage disposal ponds and highway interchanges.
