About this map

The Seaboard Air Line railway corridor forms the backbone of this mid-1960s landscape, connecting the growing communities of Statham and Bogart. This survey captures the rural character of the Piedmont before the heavy suburbanization of the nearby Athens area, showing a network of family-named roads like Cofer Rd and Kinney Rat Road that crisscross a terrain defined by the drainage of Barber Creek and McNutt Creek.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the distribution of community anchors, including the Pleasant Hill Ch in the north and Bethabara Ch near the Apalachee River. Educational landmarks such as Barber Creek Sch and Caruthers Sch are still clearly marked, alongside numerous family burial sites like Millsap Cem and Delay Cem, providing a window into the established social fabric of Barrow, Oconee, and Clarke counties during this era.
