About this map

The community of Bolingbroke serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s landscape, where the modern interstate system meets the older infrastructure of the Central of Georgia railroad. This transition is marked by a series of interchanges that carved new paths through the rural terrain of Monroe and Bibb counties. The map preserves the locations of numerous country churches that anchored the surrounding farmsteads, including Colaparchee Ch, Jobes Chapel, and Williams Chapel.

The hydrography of the region is defined by several converging waterways such as Little Tobesofkee Creek, Colaparchee Creek, and Beaverdam Creek. These natural features, along with local elevations like Pea Ridge, provide a clear picture of the area's physical geography before modern development fully expanded south from Forsyth or north from Macon. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered burial sites and family-named roads, including the Wadley Cem and Rumble Road.
