1965 Map of Brooks

About this map

The Flint River forms the central spine of this landscape, separating the agricultural and residential corridors of Brooks and Woolsey. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of the region as the Central of Georgia railroad line connects the southern settlements of Vaughn and Rio to the larger network. The landscape is defined by a series of family-named road networks, including Morgan Mill Road and Massengale Road, which reflect generations of local landholding. Community life is anchored by numerous rural houses of worship, such as Antioch Ch and Rising Star Ch. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways like Whitewater Creek and Horton Creek, with several small lakes including Kelley Lake and Clover Lake punctuating the wooded areas between established farmsteads and cemeteries.
