About this map

The town of Stockbridge serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by the upper reaches of Big Cotton Indian Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a distinctly rural character, punctuated by numerous country churches such as Mount Vernon Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside ancestral burial grounds like the Selfridge Cem and Hemphill Memorial Ch. Industrial and community landmarks are visible, including the local Quarry, the historic Millers Mill, and the Smith-Barnes Sch serving the local population.

Water management and local geography are highlighted by the Clayton County Reservoir and smaller features like Hannahs Millpond and Swan Lake. The Southern RR cuts through the territory, creating local landmarks such as Glasses Crossing. This map documents a period before heavy suburban expansion, capturing a time when small aviation outposts like Berry Hill Airport and family-named terrain like Bentley Hill and Bellah Field were prominent local fixtures.
