1948 Map of Stapleton

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Jefferson County is defined by a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks just after the post-war era. Wrens and Stapleton serve as the primary hubs for a region where the Georgia and Florida Railroad and the Savannah and Atlanta Railroad intersect, facilitating the movement of local goods. Numerous mill ponds, including Kings Mill Pond and Stapleton Mill Pond, are scattered across the terrain, suggesting a legacy of local processing along watercourses like Reedy Creek and Rocky Comfort Creek.
