About this map

Ramer serves as the primary hub of this Montgomery County landscape, situated at the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line and several rural thoroughfares during the early 1970s. The town's community infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the County High Sch and Dunbar Sch, alongside the Weeping Mary Ch and a nearby cemetery. To the north, the Mike Green Lookout Tower and a prominent water tank stand near Chesser Cem, marking the higher ground of the watershed where Ramer Creek and Sandy Creek originate.

Agricultural and industrial activity is evidenced by a Sandpit and Gravel Pit along the railway corridor, which runs southward toward the smaller settlements of Dublin and Friendship. The map preserves numerous rural landmarks like the White Cloud Cem and Hickory Chapel, while tracing established routes such as the Meriwether Trail and Smiley Ferry Road, which connect the scattered homesteads and churches of this traditional farming region.
