1971 Map of Ideal North

About this map

The boundary between Taylor and Macon counties divides this rural landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The settlement of Ideal sits near the southern edge of the sheet, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the western terrain, passing through Southland. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Whitewater Creek, Meadow Creek, and Toteover Creek, which drain the varied topography. Scattered throughout the countryside are several rural congregations and burying grounds, such as Bethlehem Ch, Little Bethel Ch, and Mt Sinai Cem. Local industry is represented by a Claypit located near the center of the survey area, indicating the geological extraction common to this portion of middle Georgia.
