1974 Map of Boykin

About this map

Spring Creek and Aycocks Creek wind through the southwestern Georgia landscape, defining the rural character of this border region where Miller, Decatur, and Seminole counties meet. The mid-1970s settlement pattern is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which strings together the small communities of Boykin, Eldorendo, and Ausmac. The distribution of rural churches, including Mothers Home Ch, Morning Star Ch, and Shiloh Ch, suggests a deeply rooted community structure maintained even as transportation networks evolved. This survey preserves a specific moment before further agricultural consolidation, capturing fine details like fence and field lines alongside established landmarks such as the Hornsby Cem and the Gaging Station on the creek. The presence of a significant Pipeline cutting across the southern terrain marks the integration of industrial infrastructure into this traditionally agrarian environment.
