About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary Road cuts through this rural Barbour County landscape, serving as a geographic reminder of the region's historical political boundaries. The town of Clayton serves as the focal point in the south, where the Central of Georgia railroad line and the County Training Sch are situated. Outside of the main settlement, the land is marked by small family landmarks and rural institutions, including the Poorhouse and several scattered houses of worship like Marianna Ch and Jacksonville Ch.

The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Pea Creek and Johnson Creek, which feed into local water bodies such as County Lake and Ventress Pond. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Flournoy Cem and Blair Cem, often situated on elevated ground like Graveyard Hill. The presence of the Game Management Headquarters in the north suggests a landscape managed for both timber and wildlife during the late 1960s.
