About this map

Lucile and Jones Crossroads anchor this rural landscape along the Early County and Miller County line in Southwest Georgia during the mid-1970s. The area is defined by a dense network of country churches that served established agricultural communities, including Allens Chapel, Mt Hosea Ch, and Springfield Ch. Small settlements such as Killarney and Mayhaw are interconnected by a system of light-duty and unimproved roads, reflecting a landscape still deeply rooted in its farming heritage.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Mill Creek, Flat Creek, and Kirkland Creek draining the terrain toward the south and west. A distinctive ford, Susian Ford, remains a named crossing on the northeastern portion of the map, while Howards Mill sits near the confluence of Howards Mill Creek and Kirkland Creek, suggesting a history of local industry powered by these coastal plain streams.
