About this map

Southern Railroad tracks cut diagonally through this portion of Jones County, anchoring the growth of Sandersville during the mid-1960s. The town's layout includes a Sandersville Sch and multiple burial sites like Sandersville Cem, while the surrounding landscape is marked by the presence of a Refinery and an extensive Oil Field to the north. These industrial features contrast with the rural heritage evidenced by several country churches, including Mt Moriah Ch Cem and Liberty Ch.

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary line runs east-west across the center of the sheet, providing a geographic record of early land divisions. Natural drainage is defined by the Tallahala Creek and its many tributaries, such as Reedy Creek and Bogue Homo. Small communities like Bonner, Sharon, and Errata are connected by a network of secondary roads, while the Errata Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the bottomlands near Dead Lake.
