1950 Map of Storys Millpond

About this map

Brier Creek winds through the heart of the central Georgia landscape, defining the rural character of this post-war environment. The area is marked by a network of local roads such as Winter Road and Walkers Bridge Road, which connect a series of small, community-centered institutions. A significant density of rural churches and schools suggests a tight-knit agrarian social structure, featuring landmarks like Spreadoak Church, Richmond Hill Church, and Winters School. The topography is shaped by numerous ponds and branches, including Storys Millpond and Goldberg Pond, which highlight the importance of water management for local industry or agriculture. Researchers will also find the Hammond Academy and established family-named landmarks like Gresham Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for local genealogical studies in this portion of the Richmond and Burke County line.
