About this map

Eastman serves as the central hub of this 1970s survey, showing a concentrated urban grid surrounded by the creeks and swamps of Dodge County. The Southern railroad line cuts a sharp diagonal through the landscape, linking the main town to the smaller settlement of Godwinsville in the southeast. This corridor was essential for the regional economy, passing by industrial markers like the Claypit and a local Substation.

Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of country churches and family burial grounds, including Zebulon Ch, Piney Grove Ch, and Lockett Cem. The map also captures the era's civic infrastructure, from the Eastman-Dodge County Airport to the County High Sch. Notable for genealogists, the landscape is dotted with specific sites such as Orphans Cem and Dodge High, reflecting the distribution of community centers across the drainage basins of Sugar Creek and Gum Swamp Creek.
