About this map

Covington serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showing the city's development alongside the educational presence of Emory Jr College. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Alcovy River and numerous tributaries like Dried Indian Creek and Cornish Creek. Transportation is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line and the Central of Georgia railroads, which linked these rural communities to the wider region.

Beyond the city limits, the map documents a series of smaller agricultural settlements and crossroads such as Starrsville, High Point, and Hayston. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including Wesley Chapel, Mt Olive Ch, and Paschal Ch, along with family-named routes like Henderson Mill Road and Belcher Road. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Oxford to the wooded valleys of Hurricane Creek, illustrating the era's balance between town growth and rural tradition.
