About this map

Buena Vista serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of the Central of Georgia railway and local rural thoroughfares. The landscape is defined by the significant drainage network of Kinchafoonee Creek and Lanahassee Creek, which carve through the terrain of Marion and Schley Counties. This 1950s documentation shows a community structured around small settlements and educational outposts, including Brantley, Elmview, and Zellobee.

Local infrastructure is represented by a variety of country schools such as Browns Sch and Popular Springs Sch, alongside religious centers like New Providence Ch and Shady Grove Ch. A notable landmark is the Marion County Prison Farm located just north of the main town. The inclusion of the Peacock Ditch and numerous unnamed family cemeteries provides fine-grained detail for those researching the agricultural and social history of this Georgia interior region.
