About this map

Central of Georgia tracks cut a straight path across Taylor County, defining the transport corridor that connects the small community of Mizell to the western outskirts of Butler. This landscape is characterized by the intricate drainage of Patsiliga Creek and Little Whitewater Creek, where the natural flow is occasionally interrupted by man-made water features such as McCants Millpond and Rustins Pd. The concentration of activity near the eastern edge of the sheet shows the development of Goldson and the Butler Municipal Airport adjacent to the rail line.

Local history is preserved in the location of Beulahland Ch and several unnamed cemeteries scattered through the woodlands. The presence of numerous sandpits and a branching network of jeep trails suggests a rural economy tied to both natural resource extraction and timber management. These topographic details provide a clear view of West Central Georgia before significant modern expansion altered the character of these small crossroads.
