About this map

Seaboard Coast Line tracks bisect the landscape of Taylor County in this early 1970s survey, connecting the rural communities of Rupert and Charing. The area is characterized by a network of local congregations and family histories, including Mt Nebo Ch, Sand Bethel Ch, and Prosperity Ch. The topographical detail reveals a land defined by water and forest, where Whitewater Creek and Cedar Creek drain the undulating terrain.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Beulah Lookout Tower and the Gaging Sta on Whitewater Creek. Near the rail line, Bloodworth Cem and several other small cemeteries serve as significant markers for genealogists tracing South Georgia families. The intersection of county lines, including the borders of Schley and Macon counties, highlights the rural administrative layout of the era.
