1950 Map of Talbotton

About this map

The town of Talbotton serves as the focal point of this mid-century Georgia survey, sitting at the junction of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Macon and Atlantic Road. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Lazar Creek and Marshall Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain. Small rural landmarks like Upatoie Ch and Powell Sch are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the importance of local community centers in this era. The presence of the Beall settlement and several unnamed cemeteries highlights the genealogical value of the map, while industrial features such as a Lookout tower and a Pumping Sta near the railroad indicate the technological infrastructure of the early 1950s. The intricate drainage patterns, including Upatoie Creek and Olive Branch Creek, show how the natural geography dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
