About this map

The Flint River defines the northeastern boundary of this Georgia landscape, where the borders of Taylor, Talbot, and Upson counties meet. During the early 1970s, this rural area was characterized by a network of small settlements and country churches, including Wesley, Jarrell, and Five Points. The community of Prattsburg serves as a local hub, featuring the Prattsburg Airport and nearby Crossroad Cem.

Transport through the region relies on routes like 22 80 and Georgia Route 19, which link the various crossroads. Numerous creeks such as Richland Creek, Barfield Creek, and Little Patsiliga Creek drain the undulating terrain toward the river. For those researching family history, several local congregations are documented, including Antioch Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Union Ch, each providing a geographic anchor for the rural population of the era.
