About this map

Felton sits along the southern edge of this 1970s survey, marking a small community hub at the junction of the Central of Georgia railroad and local rural routes. The landscape is defined by the significant ridges of Dugdown Mountain and Hightower Mountain, which dictate the paths of waterways like Cedar Creek and Fish Creek. Industrial activity is evident through numerous quarries scattered near Antioch and the Seaboard Coast Line tracks in the north.

Genealogists and local historians can locate many rural landmarks, including Center Ch and Southside Ch in the Felton area, alongside more remote sites like Lees Chapel Cem and Bethlehem Ch. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Cobb Mountain into the agricultural stretches of Young Valley and Morgan Valley, providing a detailed look at the interface between the region’s topography and its 20th-century development.
