About this map

Kinchafoonee Creek and Lanahassee Creek snake through the borderlands of Marion and Webster Counties, defining a rural Georgia landscape during the early 1970s. The settlement at Church Hill serves as a local focal point, surrounded by a high density of country churches that suggest a deeply rooted social fabric. Landmarks such as Shiloh-Marion-Church Hill Ch, New Friendship Ch, and Evans Chapel are scattered across the terrain, alongside older sites like Old Union Cem.

Industrial activity is evident near the center of the sheet, where a notable Strip Mine complex is located just north of the community. The topography is further defined by smaller tributaries including Dry Creek, Slaughter Creek, and West Fork Golden Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of these rural cemeteries and chapels relative to the creek forks provides a clear record of 20th-century Georgia parish life and land use.
