1972 Map of Rutledge South

About this map

Rutledge sits at the northern edge of this Morgan County landscape, where the Georgia railroad line and Georgia 12 278 carry traffic east toward the state's interior. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country churches that served rural congregations in the early 1970s, including Macedonia Ch, Mosleys Chapel, and Wallace Grove Ch. To the north, Hard Labor State Park borders the flowing waters of Hard Labor Creek. The map documents a predominantly agrarian settlement pattern, with smaller locales like Brownwood and Centennial linked by winding roads through the drainages of Rice Creek and Shoemaker Branch. Evidence of local industry appears at the Quarry near Campbell Creek, while a Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the high ground near Centennial.
