1964 Map of Sandersville

About this map

The Southern Railroad corridor defines the industrial and social landscape of this Jones County region, anchoring settlements like Sandersville and Errata. This mid-century survey captures the area during a period of active petroleum and timber extraction, evidenced by the extensive Oil Field operations and the presence of a Refinery near Markwald. Historical transit patterns are preserved through labels for the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the Old Mayhew Road, which cut across the natural drainage of Tallahala Creek and Bogue Homo. Community life is centered around rural landmarks like Sandersville School and several country churches, including Mt Moriah Ch & Cem and Corinth Ch. The terrain is further marked by the Errata Lookout Tower and various resource sites like the Claypit and Gravel Pit, showing the intersection of local industry and the Mississippi landscape.
