About this map

Fickling Mill and the surrounding riverlands of Middle Georgia are defined by the convergence of several major waterways in the early 1970s. The Flint River cuts a prominent path through the landscape, joined by extensive drainage systems including Auchumpkee Creek, Theolatchee Creek, and Patsiliga Creek. This topography created a fertile area for rural settlement, evidenced by the scattered network of country churches such as Damascus Ch, Midway Ch, and Crowells Ch.

Family and community history is preserved across several burial grounds, including the Harris Cem and Macedonia Cem. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning between agricultural use and woodland, with industrial activity represented by a Claypit and water management indicated by a Gaging Sta on the Flint. Smaller settlements like Olive Grove and landmarks like the Lookout Tower near the southern boundary provide clear reference points for researchers tracing the 20th-century development of Taylor, Upson, and Crawford counties.
