About this map

Mulberry Creek and its many tributaries, including Blue Spring Branch and Little Branch, define the topography of this Harris County region at the mid-century. The settlement of Mulberry Grove serves as a local hub, surrounded by a network of rural institutions like Macedonia Ch, Mt Moriah Ch, and the Richardson Cem. These sites, along with Bayard Sch and Jenkinville Sch, reflect a landscape structured around small farming communities and local congregations.

Industrial and transport history is visible through the Hudson Mill site on the creek and the path of the Central of Georgia railroad passing through Rehobeth in the southeast. The area is heavily dissected by watercourses such as Standing Boy Creek and Ford Barnes Creek, which dictated the winding routes of the unimproved roads and light-duty paths connecting the various chapels and family homesteads found throughout the survey.
