1973 Map of Hentown

About this map

Hentown and the smaller settlement of Cuba anchor this rural landscape in the early 1970s, where agricultural life is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek and Dry Creek. The map reveals a high density of community centers, particularly small rural churches such as Macedonia Ch, St Johns Ch, and St Marys Ch. These religious landmarks, often paired with family or community burial grounds like Bush Cem and Dubose Cem, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists tracing southwest Georgia roots. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features including Wamble Creek, Lime Branch, and Blue Creek, while a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower mark the mid-century modernization of the Early County countryside.
