1965 Map of Brooks

About this map

The Central of Georgia Railroad anchors the rural landscape of southern Fayette County, linking the small communities of Woolsey and Brooks as it moves toward the Spalding County line. This mid-century view reveals a territory defined by its watercourses and early industrial sites, such as Morgan Mill on Whitewater Creek. The eastern boundary is dominated by the winding course of the Flint River, which separates the area from Clayton County. Smaller settlements like Vaughn, Rio, and Digbey are scattered throughout, often centered around family-named roads and country churches like Rising Star Ch and Antioch Ch. The 1980s updates, shown in purple, highlight localized growth near Kelley Lake and the Heads Cr Res, reflecting the subtle transition of this agricultural region over two decades of development.
