About this map

McRae and Helena serve as the primary hubs of this region, established as twin cities where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads intersect. This 1972 survey illustrates the civic development of the era, noting essential community landmarks such as the County Hospital, City Hall, and Central Sch. Beyond the urban grid of streets like Telfair Ave and Liberty St, the landscape is defined by its waterways, including the winding Little Ocmulgee River and Sugar Creek.

To the north, the expanse of Little Ocmulgee State Park provides a significant recreational area, while the rural surroundings are dotted with smaller settlements like Achord and spiritual centers such as New Hope Ch. Genealogists may find value in the location of Oak Grove Cem and other cemeteries scattered throughout the county, providing a detailed record of the families tied to the land between the Dodge and Telfair county lines.
