About this map

The Oconee River flows through this Georgia landscape, defining the character of Milledgeville and its surrounding communities during the early 1970s. The map illustrates the town's role as an educational and institutional hub, featuring the sprawling campuses of Georgia College and Georgia Military College. Further south, the extensive complex of the State Hospital dominates the area around Hardwick, while the Central of Georgia railroad line cuts through the western terrain near Harrisburg.

Along the river banks, the Fort Wilkinson Historical Site marks a point of frontier significance, while islands like Buzzard Island and McMillan Island sit in the current. Community life is represented by numerous neighborhood institutions, from Memory Hill Cem and Bland Cem to the local Boddie High Sch and Carver Sch. The map also captures smaller satellite settlements including Scottsboro and Mosleyville, providing a detailed view of the county's social geography before late-century expansion.
