About this map

The town of Clio serves as the primary hub in this 1969 topographic survey of Barbour County, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a straight line through the undulating landscape. The map captures a predominantly rural community defined by family-named landmarks and water sources, such as Easterling Pond and Prices Ponds. Local industry is reflected in the Easterlings Fish Hatchery located southwest of the main settlement.

Social life in the era is anchored by numerous country churches, including Fine Hope Ch, New Hope Ch, and Jerusalem Ch. In the southeastern corner, the recreation and natural beauty of Blue Springs State Park are documented near the headwaters of the Choctawhatchee River. The survey also preserves the locations of several smaller crossroads communities like Tyler Crossroads and Akinsville, providing a clear picture of the region's mid-century rural infrastructure.
