1973 Map of Irwinton

About this map

Irwinton serves as a central hub in this Georgia landscape, situated at a major crossroads south of the Central of Georgia railroad line. The map highlights the agricultural and industrial character of Wilkinson County during the early 1970s, featuring active kaolin mining evidence such as a claypit and several unnamed tailings ponds near McIntyre. The rural geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Commissioner Creek and Big Sandy Creek, which carved the undulating terrain that necessitated landmarks like the Wilkinson Lookout Tower.
