1970 Map of Jordan

About this map

The small community of Jordan and the nearby settlement of Spring Hill anchor this rural landscape in Wheeler County, surveyed at the end of the 1960s. The area is defined by its numerous small congregational hubs, such as Sardis Ch, Hope Ch, and Shiloh Ch, which reflect the localized social structure of mid-century Georgia. Geologic and infrastructure features include a Gaging Station and a major utility Pipeline that traverses the terrain. The southern border of the quadrangle follows the Little Ocmulgee River and the Southern railroad line, marking a clear divide between Wheeler and Telfair Counties. Multiple family-named cemeteries, including Adams Cem and Benton Cem, are scattered across the network of rural roads, providing valuable reference points for genealogists researching the families of the Oconee river basin.
