About this map

The Georgia-Florida border country comes to life in this early 1980s topographical record, documenting a rural landscape defined by family-named cemeteries and scattered country churches. Multiple county lines converge here, with Leon, Thomas, Grady, and Jefferson counties all meeting in a region dominated by cypress-ringed water bodies like Foshalee Lake and Thompson Pond.

Evidence of historical transit and land use is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the southern reaches of the map. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small burial grounds and congregations such as Blalock Cemetery, Spring Hill Church, and Brown-Bethel Church. This landscape remains largely agrarian and forested, with numerous small basins like Original Pond and Murray Pond dotting the terrain between Sunny Hill and the winding Titi Branch.
