1968 Map of Homerville East

About this map

Homerville serves as the western anchor of this landscape, where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad tracks run straight through the heart of the community toward Argyle and Travisville. This era in Clinch County is defined by a dense network of swampy bays and slow-moving branches, including the broad Devils Bay and Isaac Bay. These natural features dictated the placement of early roads like Peagler Road and Surveyors Road, which skirt the edges of the wetlands. Rural life is anchored by local congregations at New Pine Grove Ch and Shiloh Ch, while industrial and agricultural history is visible at the Diekerson Millpond on Millpond Creek. The map documents a period where traditional timber and naval stores landscapes, noted by the Woodyard, met the modernization of municipal services like the local Sewage Disposal facility.
