About this map

Talbotton serves as the primary hub of activity in this mid-century survey of Talbot County, situated at the intersection of several regional roads and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The town's layout is defined by institutional landmarks such as the Talbotton Sch and Friendship Ch, while the surrounding rural landscape is dotted with smaller communities like Hinton and educational sites like Carter Sch.

A complex drainage system of creeks, including Lazer Creek, Edwards Creek, and Upatoi Creek, carves through the undulating wooded terrain. For family historians, several well-placed landmarks provide points of reference, including the Neel Cem, Culpepper Cem, and the Powell Ch. The introduction of industrial infrastructure is evident through a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northeastern quadrant, marking a shift in the local land use from traditional agricultural and forestry patterns.
