1974 Map of Steinham Store

About this map

Steinham Store serves as a central landmark in this Southwest Georgia landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the winding course of the Flint River. The 1974 survey documents a rural community defined by its spiritual centers, including First Macedonia Ch, Pilgrims Rest Ch, and Mt Tabor Ch. These small church congregations are scattered across a terrain where land-use patterns are shaped by complex county boundaries, as the borders of Miller, Baker, Decatur, and Mitchell counties all converge in this vicinity. Economic activity is represented by localized industry like the Sandpit found in the northern reaches. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road network and drainage patterns typical of the coastal plain before significant late-twentieth-century development altered the local character.
