About this map

The town of Talbotton serves as a prominent rail and road hub in this mid-century portrait of western Georgia. The Central of Georgia and Southern railroads carve paths through a landscape defined by numerous small creek systems, including Upatoi Creek and Lazar Creek. To the southwest, the northern reaches of the Fort Benning Military Reservation indicate the significant military footprint on the region.

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Waverly Hall, Geneva, and Box Springs are centers of community life, anchored by numerous country churches such as Matthews Chapel, Camel Chapel, and Olive Branch Ch. Local industry and land use are evidenced by landmarks like Kings Mill Pond and Mobleys Pond, alongside the Juniper Sta rail stop. This 1950 field-checked survey provides a detailed look at the rural school system, featuring sites like Powell Sch, and tracks the intricate county boundaries where Harris, Talbot, and Muscogee counties meet.
