About this map

Talbotton serves as the focal point of this mid-century Georgia survey, positioned at the intersection of a developing road network and the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Lazer Creek and Upatoi Creek, which carve through the terrain surrounding the town. A strong rural community structure is evident in the distribution of local institutions such as Carter Sch and Friendship Ch located just north of the town center.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed identification of family-named landmarks like Neel Cem and Culpepper Cem. The transition from earlier agrarian patterns to modern infrastructure is marked by the introduction of a prominent Pipeline and updated road alignments. Smaller settlements like Hinton and various local landmarks such as Olive Branch Ch provide a clear view of the social and geographic layout of Talbot County during this period of transition.
