About this map

The Central Of Georgia railroad cuts diagonally across this 1978 survey, anchoring the settlement of Register in the northeastern corner. This landscape in Bulloch County is defined by its agrarian and water-bound character, where numerous small ponds like Franklin Pond and Atwood Pond dot the terrain. The southern boundary of the map follows the winding course of the Canoochee River, where Kennedy Bridge provides a vital crossing point near the junction of Bulloch and Evans counties.

Rural life is evidenced by a network of local churches and family-named landmarks, including St Pauls Ch, New Bedford Ch, and Eason Chapel. Small communities such as New Hope, Excelsior, and Adabelle are dispersed among the tributaries of Tenmile Creek, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of the Georgia coastal plain. The map also records industrial traces like a Sandpit near the Evans County line, alongside numerous unnamed cemeteries that hold value for local genealogical research.
