About this map

The Southern railroad corridor and the winding course of the Ocmulgee River define the agricultural landscape of Houston County in the mid-1970s. The settlement of Kathleen serves as a northern anchor, marked by the Kathleen Ch and the Kathleen Lookout Tower overlooking the surrounding timber and creek bottoms. To the south, the village of Hayneville is detailed with its Athletic Field and local thoroughfares like Wimberly Road and Henson Road.

Surface drainage is complex, with Big Indian Creek and Mossy Creek cutting through the terrain toward the river. Notable local landmarks include the Sand Bed and a solitary Sandpit, reflecting the area's geological composition. Several small family or community cemeteries are noted throughout the rural areas, providing valuable points of reference for those tracing local lineages along old routes like Sand Bed Road and Farr Road.
