1971 Map of Lincoln Park

About this map

The Flint River winds along the southern boundary of Upson County in this early 1970s record, passing through several distinctive Shoals and Snipes Shoals. The landscape north of the river is defined by a network of rural settlements and named crossroads, including Lincoln Park, Redbone Crossroads, and Birdsong Crossroads. The terrain is marked by notable geological features like Snipes Grave Rock and Ten Acre Rock, while several small lakes, including Mathis Lake and Wiggam Branch Lake, dot the creekside basins. This era shows a community rooted in local industry and faith, evidenced by the Mica Pit and numerous country churches such as Zion Chapel and Welcome Grove Ch. The presence of the Vocational Sch and the Radio Tower (WSFT) reflects the mid-century development of the Thomaston area, while older landmarks like Southview Cem provide points of reference for genealogists.
