About this map

Waynesboro serves as a primary hub in this Georgia landscape, situated where the Central of Georgia Railroad cuts through the western terrain near a local Lookout Tower and Ranger Headquarters. The geography is defined by the winding course of Brier Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Strawberry Br and Fitz Branch. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural society deeply connected by faith and family, evidenced by the density of small congregations and burial grounds like Watkinville Ch, Old Church, and the Asbury Ch Cem.

Industry and infrastructure appear at the peripheries, from a Filtration Plant and Radio Tower (WBRQ) near the town center to the eastern waters of Hatchers Millpond. The road network, including the Old Mc Intosh Road and Thompson Bridge Road, connects these disparate settlements and farmsteads, providing a clear view of the transportation patterns in Burke County before later twentieth-century development.
