About this map

Ichawaynochaway Creek winds southward through this 1970s landscape, serving as a central geographic anchor for several small settlements and agricultural landmarks. The town of Leary stands in the northeast corner, connected to the smaller community of Williamsburg by the tracks of the Central of Georgia railroad. This rail corridor defines the northern movement of goods and people during this era, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by a network of creeks including Caney Creek, Mill Creek, and Pachitla Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks that define the community structure of the time, such as Bethel Ch and its associated Bethel Cem, alongside Macedonia Ch. Evidence of earlier industry persists at Iveys Mill, while the southern settlements of Patmos and Milford remain connected by rural routes. The boundary between Calhoun and Baker Counties cuts across the southern terrain, marking political divisions in this heavily watered region.
