About this map

The Little Ohoopee River and its numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Branch and Big Battleground Creek, carve through this rural Georgia landscape. This 1973 survey captures the area where Washington, Jefferson, and Johnson counties meet, a region defined by small agricultural settlements and scattered country parishes. The mapping reveals a high density of rural religious life and genealogy markers, with St Pauls Ch, Jones Chapel, and Powells Chapel serving as community anchors alongside family-named burial grounds like Whitfield Cem and Greenway Cem.

The settlement of New Home stands near the confluence of local watersheds, reflecting a period of quiet rural persistence. This sheet is particularly valuable for tracing old land boundaries and family sites, as seen in labels like Talbot Grove Ch Cem and West Cem. The presence of Salter Branch and Nails Creek in the northern reaches further illustrates the intricate drainage pattern that shaped local homesteading and agriculture throughout the mid-twentieth century.
