1972 Map of Mansfield

About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad corridor anchors this survey of Newton County, where small agricultural settlements and rural congregations define the landscape in the early 1970s. The town of Mansfield serves as a local hub, situated near Newborn and the Bethel Grove Ch. Further north, the namesake Brick Store settlement stands at a historical junction of local roads, while the Walton State Fish Hatchery utilizes the headwaters of the Little River. This sheet documents a rural Georgia interior before modern expansion, where family-named routes like Pitts Chapel Road and Jones Road connect isolated farms to landmarks such as Hays Pond and Shoal Creek Ch. The geography is further complicated by three county boundaries—Walton, Morgan, and Jasper—meeting near the eastern and southern margins.
