About this map

Piscola Creek and its various tributaries, including Carroll Branch and Allen Branch, define the rural landscape of this Brooks and Thomas County border region. The settlement of Dixie serves as a local hub along the CSX railroad line, featuring the Westbrook High Sch and a nearby substation. The map reveals a deeply established community structure through its numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, such as Beulah Hill Ch, Friendship Ch, and the Hunter Cem.

South of the main rail corridor, the terrain transitions into a unique karst-like topography at The Sinks, while the northeast corner is marked by Bowen Millpond. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the County Training Sch and the now-traced Old Railroad Grade that once cut through the western timberlands near Dry Lake. Smaller named locales like Oaklawn, Pidcock, and Ham City further illustrate the distribution of late 20th-century Georgia homesteads and farming operations.
