About this map

The Rock Eagle Monument serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, situated near the State 4-H Club Center and Rock Eagle Lake. The map details a rural transition where the southern reaches of the Oconee National Forest meet agricultural lands and experimental forestry tracts, such as the State Experimental Sta. This 1972 survey records the local infrastructure of the era, from the path of the Central of Georgia railroad in the west to the scattered rural community centers like Springfield Ch and Union Chapel Ch.

Significant watercourses including Big Indian Creek and Little Sugar Cr drain the terrain toward the Little River at the southern boundary. Local transit is defined by intersections at Reids Crossroads and the settlement of Godfrey, while several family-named landmarks like Chestnut and numerous unnamed Cem sites offer vital data for those researching the genealogy and early 1970s land use of northern Georgia.
