1972 Map of County Line

About this map

Pataula Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Little Creek, carve through the rural landscape along the boundary of Stewart and Randolph counties. This early 1970s survey documents a network of small, dispersed communities and ecclesiastical centers such as Benevolence, Pumpkin Town, and Scienceville. The density of country churches and their associated burial grounds, including Philadelphia Church and Mt Zion Church, provides a clear view of the social and genealogical fabric of this Georgia interior. Cultural history is visible in landmarks like the Indian Mounds and Griers Cave, while industrial activity is represented by a Quarry and gaging station. The presence of Wards Mill Branch suggests the lingering sites of earlier water-powered industry, set against a backdrop of small ponds like Singer Pond and Carters Pond.
