About this map

Locust Grove and Jenkinsburg anchor this mid-1960s survey of the crossroads where Henry, Butts, and Spalding Counties meet. The Southern RR cuts a diagonal path through the landscape, dictating the development of these small Piedmont settlements. Rural life is evidenced by a high density of community landmarks, including England Chapel, Shiloh Ch, and Bold Spring Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds like Henley-Heflin Cem and Patrick Cem.

The terrain is defined by the winding Tomaliga River and its numerous tributaries, such as Wolf Creek and Indian Creek. A Gaging Station monitors the river's flow near the southern border, while the Butts Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the forested hills to the east. The detailed road network, featuring routes like Peeksville Road and Leguin Dr, reveals a transitional period between traditional farming and the early stages of regional expansion.
