About this map

Mulberry Creek winds through the heart of Harris County, Georgia, defining a landscape of small rural settlements and scattered houses of worship during the mid-1950s. The area is anchored by the community of Mulberry Grove, where Binghams Chapel stands near the James Lakes. Further east, the Central of Georgia railroad cuts through the terrain, serving the village of Rehobeth and the stop at Boy. The topography is shaped by numerous watercourses, including Standing Boy Creek and Ossahatchie Creek, which drain the wooded hills.

Local history and genealogy are evidenced by the network of country churches like Macedonia Ch and Mt Moriah Ch, as well as the Rehobeth Cem. A notable geographic feature, the Hudson Mill Rapids, indicates a history of water-driven industry or natural landmarks along the main creek. This 1955 survey, photoinspected in the early 1970s, captures Harris County before significant modern development altered its agricultural and woodland character.
