About this map

The city of Forsyth serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing its development at the intersection of local industry and education. Higher education and local instruction are prominent through the campus of Tift College, Hubbard High Sch, and Monroe Academy. The Central Of Georgia railroad cuts diagonally through the landscape, a primary artery for the region's economy that passes near the Courthouse and City Hall.

Beyond the urban center, the terrain is defined by the Towaliga River to the north and numerous small rural congregations such as Tessiehall Ch, Fairview Ch, and Maynard Ch. The presence of several dedicated burial grounds, including Rest Haven Mem Cem and Garden of Prayer Cem, alongside the small settlement of Box Ankle, provides significant detail for those researching family history in Monroe County. Industrial growth is noted through the Filtration Plant and specialized infrastructure like the Pumping Sta and various Sewage Disposal Ponds.
