1971 Map of Prattsburg

About this map

Prattsburg and Carsonville anchor the northern reaches of this topographic survey, which documents the rural landscape of Taylor County and its borders with Talbot and Upson counties. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent toward the Flint River in the northeast corner, where Swift Creek and Three Fingered Lake meet the river's edge. This 1970s record highlights a network of small agricultural communities and family-centered landmarks, including Wesley and Jarrell to the south. The distribution of rural houses and landmarks like Crossroad Ch and Antioch Ch reflects a settlement pattern tied to the creeks and ridges, such as those surrounding Little Patsiliga Creek and Timms Creek. A solitary Landing Strip near Richland Creek and a Roadside Park near Five Points indicate the modest infrastructure serving this corner of Georgia as it appeared in the early 1970s.
