1971 Map of Pinehurst

About this map

Unadilla and Pinehurst anchor this rural landscape in Dooly County, where agricultural life is defined by a network of creeks and small crossroads settlements. The Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads cut through the terrain, establishing the transport corridors that supported the local cotton and farming economy during the early 1970s. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions, such as Red Hill Ch, Old Mt Zion Ch, and the Forest Chapel school, which served as community focal points for the surrounding farmsteads. Smaller hamlets like Findlay and Lilly appear alongside family-associated landmarks such as Forehand Cem and Mt Olive Cem. Drainage is managed by the winding courses of Turkey Creek, Little Creek, and Pennahatchee Creek, while more localized features like Oakbin Pond and Mount break the agricultural expanse. This survey preserves the spatial layout of Central Georgia's farmland before modern interstate development altered the character of these historic rail towns.
