About this map

Thomaston serves as the focal point of this Upson County survey, showing the city's development alongside industrial and residential hubs like Silvertown and East Thomaston. The landscape is a mix of urban street grids and rural landmarks, anchored by the Norfolk Southern railroad line and the Thomaston-Upson County Airport. This era finds the region defined by its water resources and milling history, evidenced by Paynes Mill and Hannahs Mill, as well as numerous reservoirs including Pasley Lake, Mathews Lake, and Hightower Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial grounds such as Antioch Cem, Bethany Cem, and Glenwood Cem. The map also captures several distinct smaller settlements and neighborhoods like McKinney, Delray, and Sunset Village, providing a clear record of the community's footprint in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by geographic features like Indian Grave Mtn and the winding course of Potato Cr and its various tributaries.
