About this map

Locust Grove and Jenkinsburg anchor this topographical survey of the Georgia Piedmont, appearing as they did in the early 1960s with 1970s updates. The Southern railroad line carves a diagonal path through the landscape, connecting these small town centers while following the natural drainage divides. Rural life is well-documented through a dense network of family and community landmarks, including Beersheba Ch, England Chapel, and several smaller burial grounds like Patrick Cem.

The terrain is defined by the Tomaliga River and its numerous tributaries such as Wolf Creek and Indian Creek, which illustrate the complex watershed of Henry, Butts, and Spalding counties. Notable local infrastructure, such as the Butts Lookout Tower and a rural Landing Strip, stands alongside the agrarian landscape of Peeksville Road and Unity Grove Road, reflecting the transition of these traditional farming communities toward the late 20th century.
