1972 Map of Jacksonville

About this map

Jacksonville sits at a critical bend where the Ocmulgee River meets the crossing point of the Jacksonville Ferry Bridge. This 1970s landscape, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a rural Georgia community defined by its proximity to the river and a network of creeks like Alligator Creek and Lumpkin Branch. The settlement pattern is deeply historical, anchored by numerous small churches and family burial grounds that reflect generations of local residency. Landmarks such as St Pauls Ch, Graham Ch, and Salem Ch serve as neighborhood anchors across the terrain.
