About this map

Jeffersonville serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, showing the town at a time of established institutional growth with its County High Sch and Twiggs Jr High Sch. The landscape is characterized by its drainage network, with Turkey Creek and Alligator Creek winding through the terrain, while the Seaboard railroad line cuts a definitive path through the center of the county seat.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Wimberly Cem near town and outlying sites like Faulks Chapel and Concord Cem. Evidence of the local extractive industry is visible through several Claypits located along Porter Branch and Mallory Branch. The map also captures smaller communities and points of interest such as Higginaville and Hamrick Lake, illustrating the rural character of Twiggs and Wilkinson counties before later modern developments.
