About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad line serves as a central artery through this corner of Jasper County, connecting the small communities of Adgateville and Hillsboro amidst a landscape heavily defined by conservation and resource extraction. Significant portions of the territory are occupied by the Oconee National Forest and the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain is dissected by numerous waterways such as Stalking Head Creek and Gladesville Creek.

Evidence of local industry is visible in the northwest through several quarries and Gravel Pits, indicating the area's geological utility during the mid-1960s. Rural life is anchored by landmarks like Rock Zion Ch and the settlement at Tribble Fields. This survey captures the region just as the balance between industrial use and federal land management was becoming firmly established across the Georgia Piedmont.
