1912 Map of Milledgeville

About this map

Milledgeville serves as the focal point of this 1909 survey, showcasing the city's complex rail infrastructure and the sprawling grounds of the State Sanitarium. The Oconee River carves through the western landscape, past Collins Island and Oconee Siding, while the Georgia RR and its Macon Branch provide critical connections to smaller outposts like Carrs Station and Devereux. The map reveals a deeply established network of rural community centers, from the industrial Coleman Mill to numerous educational and religious sites including Griffin Academy, Union Point School, and Island Creek Church. Moving south of the city, the landscape transitions into the smaller settlements of Harrisburg and Scottsboro, alongside several distinct water bodies like Reedy Creek Lake and Powell Lake that define the local drainage patterns near the Wilkinson County line.
