About this map

Big Indian Creek and its many tributaries carve through the landscape west of Perry, where the rail line of the Central of Georgia connects the rural communities of Myrtle and Clopine. This 1970s landscape is defined by its transition from the developing outskirts of Perry to more remote agricultural and wooded tracts. The map reveals a dense network of local spiritual and community centers, including Richland Ch, Baptist Creek Ch, and Browns Chapel, often accompanied by their respective cemeteries such as Richland Ch Cem.

A glimpse into the era's local industry and recreation shows Industrial Waste Ponds near the city's edge and a Drive-in Theater along the main thoroughfare. Educational sites like Westfield Sch and transportation markers such as a Landing Strip and Firetower provide specific points of interest for local historians. This survey effectively documents the intersection of several county lines, including the junction where Peach, Macon, and Houston counties meet.
