1973 Map of Old Town

About this map

The Ogeechee River meanders through this section of eastern Georgia, defined by its complex wetlands and distinctive river features such as the Upper Roundabout and Lower Roundabout. This 1973 survey captures the rural character of the Jefferson and Burke county line, where small settlements like Old Town and Street Place were anchored by a dense network of country churches. Local landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch, Union Bethel Ch, and San Clair Ch suggest the importance of these sites as community centers during the mid-20th century.
