About this map

Jeffersonville serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a significant northwest-to-southeast Pipeline. The landscape is a network of small watercourses and family-named landmarks, such as Hamrick Lake and McCallum Pond, indicating a rural community structure deeply tied to its land and local industry. Evidence of the region's geologic utility is seen in the numerous claypits and extraction sites scattered northeast of the town center near Porter Branch.

Religious and educational life is well-documented through several country churches including Providence Ch and Concord Ch, alongside the County High Sch. Genealogists will find the specific locations of family burial grounds like Wimberly Cem and Hardy-Durham Cem particularly useful. The boundary between Wilkinson and Twiggs counties runs through the eastern portion of the sheet, cutting through the drainage basins of Buck Creek and Beaverdam Branch.
