About this map

Locust Grove and Jenkinsburg anchor this mid-century portrait of the Georgia Piedmont, where the Southern railroad line dictates the local geography of commerce and transit. The landscape is defined by its rural density, featuring a high concentration of community centers such as Beersheba Ch, England Chapel, and Bold Spring Ch. For genealogists, the map is particularly revealing, documenting numerous family-named landmarks including Patrick Cem, Woodward Cem, and the unique Henley-Hellin Cem tucked between agricultural fields.

Waterways like the Tomaliga River and Wolf Creek flow through a terrain marked by small-scale infrastructure, from a Gaging Station to a local Landing Strip. The presence of the Butts Lookout Tower near the Fairview Ch suggests the era's focus on forest management and surveillance. This survey, updated with late-century aerial data, preserves the footprint of a region transitioning between traditional farm life and the expanding reach of nearby industrial corridors.
