About this map

Gray serves as a central hub in Jones County, situated where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts southeast toward the historic community of Clinton. This map captures a landscape defined by small rail-stop settlements like Round Oak, Wayside, and Bradley, which are connected by the tracks and local roads. The educational heart of the rural area is represented by the Bradley-Wayside Sch, positioned between its namesake hamlets.

Heavy woodland of the Oconee National Forest blankets the northern and eastern reaches, drained by a network of waterways including Shoal Creek and Hog Creek. The map reflects a mid-century rural Georgia economy transitioning into the late 20th century, where traditional landmarks like St Pauls Ch and Stewart Chapel remain as community anchors alongside modern infrastructure like the Radio Tower and the prominent Water Tank in Gray.
