About this map

Echeconnee Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Echeconnee Creek and Kelsey Branch, dominate the rural landscape at the junction of Crawford, Monroe, and Bibb counties. Small agricultural settlements like Moran and Sandy Point are connected by a network of local roads such as Hopewell Road and Tharpe Road, while an Old Railroad Grade north of Walnut Creek marks the path of earlier 19th-century transit.

The presence of community gathering places, such as the Tabernacle Campground and Camp Martha Johnston, suggests a mid-century landscape dedicated to social and religious congregations. Numerous country churches, including Greenville Ch, Salem Ch, and Spring Hill Ch, are scattered throughout the region, often accompanied by family or community burial grounds like Bethel Cem. These sites provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Georgia during the early 1970s.
