About this map

Adgateville and the town of Hillsboro anchor this mid-century survey of the central Georgia landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a diagonal line through a heavily wooded and creek-dissected terrain. The map captures a transition between managed conservation and local industry, with the Oconee National Forest and the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge covering large swaths of land west of the rail corridor. Numerous unnamed cemeteries and the Rock Zion Ch reflect the rural social fabric of Jasper and Jones Counties during this era.

Waterways like Stalking Head Creek and Falling Creek dominate the topography, revealing a land defined by its drainages and small-scale resource extraction, including several quarries and Gravel Pits. The presence of the Allison Trail and various jeep trails suggests a landscape that, while largely protected under federal refuge status, remained accessible for timbering and local transit between small settlements like Tribble Fields.
