1916 Map of Irwinton

The geography is defined by the winding Oconee River and the prominent Beech Ridge, which separates the river bottomlands from the higher agricultural plains. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous local landmarks such as Bloodworths Store, Stubbs Store, and a wide array of country schools including Poplar Head School and Hazeltine School. These scattered features, alongside rural churches like Myrtle Spring Church, illustrate the decentralized community structure before later twentieth-century consolidation.
