About this map

The agricultural landscape of central Georgia is defined here by a network of rural churches and creek branches during the early 1970s. Small community hubs like Lenwood and Belleview anchor the countryside, while the Pulaski High school serves the central area near Antioch Ch. The terrain is characterized by its drainage into the Ocmulgee River system, with Tenmile Creek and Bluff Creek carving through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a high density of local landmarks, including St Pauls Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Wesley Chapel. The presence of Fountain Millpond and an Old Grade road bed in the east suggests earlier patterns of industry and transport that have since integrated into the modern rural grid. Dozens of small family and community cemeteries are scattered across the fields and woodlots, offering specific points of interest for local history researchers.
