About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Bdy cuts across the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a significant historical frontier near the settlement of Fitzpatrick. This 1971 survey captures the rural character of the Bullock and Montgomery County line, where the Central of Georgia railroad serves as the primary industrial corridor, connecting smaller communities like Mitchell and Downing. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Line Creek and Panther Creek winding through the hills. Notable developments of the era include a Dam Under Construction in the central portion of the map. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous spiritual and memorial sites, such as New Bethel Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and the Fitzpatrick Cem, which provide anchors for local family histories along the Shopton route.
