1964 Map of Statham

About this map

Statham and Bogart serve as the primary rail-oriented hubs in this mid-1960s portrait of north-central Georgia, positioned along the Seaboard Air Line corridor. The landscape is characterized by a high density of rural institutions that offer significant value for genealogical research, including family-named sites like Peppers Cemetery and Millsaps Cemetery. Further south, the rural character deepens along the Apalachee River, where historical industry and education are represented by Caruthers Mill and the nearby Caruthers School. The map captures a complex network of county boundaries where Barrow, Oconee, Clarke, Jackson, and Walton all meet, reflected in the varied placement of community anchors like Bethabara Church and Mt Zion Cemetery Church. Numerous secondary roads such as Dooley Town Road and Kinney Rat Road weave between the tributaries of Barber Creek and Bear Creek, illustrating the settlement patterns of these Piedmont ridges.
