About this map

Talbotton serves as the central hub of this Georgia landscape, situated at the junction of several regional roads and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The town's layout in the early 1950s is shown in detail, including the Talbotton Sch and local municipal infrastructure like the Beall Water Tank. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Lazar Creek and Richland Creek, which drain the varied topography of the Piedmont region.

Social and educational centers are dispersed throughout the rural tracts, marked by landmarks such as Upatoie Ch, Olive Branch Ch, and the Powell Sch. A notable historical detail is the notation of a Dam Destroyed on one of the southern creek branches, indicating changes in local water management or land use. The presence of a Lookout Tower on a high point south of town highlights the importance of forestry and fire surveillance during this era.
