1972 Map of Mc Rae NW

About this map

Cedar Grove serves as the primary focal point of this rural Georgia landscape where the borders of Laurens, Dodge, Wheeler, and Telfair counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Gum Swamp Creek, Alligator Creek, and Whitewater Creek, which carve through the lowlands. This survey illustrates the distribution of community landmarks away from the main settlements, showing scattered country churches like New Bethel Ch and Mt Olivet Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, such as New Hope Cem, Burch Cem, Antioch Cem, and Harrelson Cem. The drainage patterns, particularly around Lime Sink Creek and Little Joiner Cr, suggest a wetland-heavy environment that influenced the placement of roads and homesteads throughout the mid-20th century.
