1962 Map of Sandersville

About this map

Sandersville and nearby Tennille serve as the primary hubs in this central Washington County landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad creates a vital corridor through the rolling terrain. The map details an era of local industry and infrastructure, from the Jordan Mill in the northeast to several kaolin-related sites, including a mine and a settling basin west of the city. Notable for genealogists, the survey identifies numerous rural landmarks like the Brownwood Cem, Zeta Cem, and Elder High Sch. The intersection of agriculture and transit is evident along Savannah Road and near the Deep Cut Bridge over Sandy Creek. Small community congregations, such as Limestone Ch and Georgia Grove Ch, are scattered throughout the countryside, marking the established social fabric of this Georgia region during the early 1960s.
