About this map

The Oconee River flows past the established city of Milledgeville in this survey based on data from 1909. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural churches and schools that served the agricultural community of Baldwin County. Significant institutional landmarks like the State Sanitarium sit south of the city center, while smaller hamlets like Devereux and Carrs Station are connected by the Georgia RR.

Industry and local commerce are visible through sites like Coleman Mill and Allen Mill, situated along the creeks and branches feeding the Oconee. The map reveals the early 20th-century reliance on both rail and water, with the Macon Dublin & Savannah RR and the Central of Georgia RR intersecting the region. Family and community life is documented through locations like Griffin Academy and the Union Point School, alongside numerous named chapels and cemeteries that provide critical context for local genealogists.
