1971 Map of Butler East

About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad corridor serves as the primary east-west spine for this Taylor County landscape, connecting the town of Butler to the small settlement at Panhandle. The local economy of the early 1970s is reflected in the numerous managed water bodies and agricultural infrastructure, including McCants Millpond, Suggs Millpond, and Minors Millpond. These millponds and the presence of Taylor Mill Lake suggest a long-standing reliance on the local creek systems, such as Patsiliga Creek and Beaver Creek, for both industry and land management.
