1971 Map of Roberta

About this map

The Southern railway corridor defines the eastern boundary of this central Georgia landscape, anchoring the town of Roberta as a local hub of transportation and commerce. Moving west, the terrain transitions into a dense network of watercourses and family-named landmarks. The Flint River snakes through the southwest corner, forming the border between Crawford and Taylor counties. This waterway is fed by numerous tributaries such as Boggy Branch, Beech Creek, and Beaver Swamp. The distribution of rural landmarks suggests a long-established community, with several significant sites such as Walker Chapel, Bethel Ch, and the Radford Grave located deep within the wooded hills. Outside of the main town, smaller settlements like Gaillard and Hammett appear alongside industrial sites including a Claypit and several Sandpits, reflecting the local extractive economy of the early 1970s.
