About this map

The town of Reynolds serves as the central hub of this 1971 study, situated where the Central Of Georgia railroad crosses the landscape. The geography is defined by the expansive Magnolia Swamp and the winding course of the Flint River, which forms the boundary between Taylor, Crawford, Peach, and Macon counties. To the south, the industrial and agricultural character of the era is evident near Potterville, where Taylor Mill Lake and several Industrial Waste Ponds are located.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including rural congregations like White Hill Ch and New Free Run Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds such as Glover Cem and Newsom Cem. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid of the main settlement to the outlying communities of Beechwood and Nakomis, all connected by a network of creeks including Patsiliga Creek, Beaver Creek, and Gin Creek.
