About this map

Milledgeville and its western outskirts anchor this 1970s survey, defined by a network of rural crossroads and institutional landmarks. The Central Of Georgia railroad cuts through the landscape, serving the industrial and social infrastructure of the era, including the State Training School for Boys and the Filtration Plant. A high concentration of community landmarks, such as Pardue Tabernacle, Antioch Ch, and Salem Ch, reflects the established social fabric of the Baldwin County countryside.

Industry and topography are closely linked along the waterways, where Claypits appear near Little Fishing Creek. The settlement pattern follows older roads and rail lines, seen in small communities like Blandy, Browns Crossing, and Allenwood. Numerous family-named water bodies, such as Moore Creek and Watson Creek, drain the wooded terrain toward the larger Fishing Creek basin, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local land use and development in middle Georgia.
