About this map

Social Circle serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, situated at the junction of Georgia 11 and the Georgia Railroad. The landscape is defined by its numerous small community centers and country churches, such as Annie Mary Ch, Fellowship Ch, and Brown Hill Ch. To the east, the sprawling boundary of Hard Labor Creek State Park meets the winding paths of Hard Labor Creek and Labor Creek.

Genealogists can trace local landmarks like Circle View Cem and the smaller settlements of Whitney and Herndonville. The terrain is shaped by the Alcovy River and Alcovy Mtn in the northwest, while the southeastern corner reaches Rutledge. Industrial and utility infrastructure of the era is evident through features like the Walton State Fish Hatchery, multiple substations, and a Filtration Plant, reflecting the region's mid-century development and land use patterns.
