1973 Map of Indian Springs

About this map

Indian Springs State Park anchors the northern portion of this 1973 survey, preserving a landscape where the mineral springs drew visitors long before the establishment of the surrounding towns. The boundary between Butts and Monroe Counties bisects the terrain, which is defined by the winding course of the Towaliga River and its numerous tributaries like Eightmile Creek and Rocky Creek. The settlement pattern is distinctly rural, marked by a high concentration of community landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Antioch Ch. In the northeast, the Southern railroad line passes through Flovilla and the small settlement at Sandy, illustrating the historical importance of rail transport to these Georgia communities. This map documents a quiet era of agricultural and small-town life, preserving the locations of family burial grounds like China Grove Cem and Webb Cem alongside the slow-moving river landscape.
