1971 Map of Thompson

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this rural landscape, marking a historical division that still influenced property lines and land use into the 1970s. The Central of Georgia railroad runs parallel through the center of the sheet, connecting the small settlement of Thompson to the wider region. This area is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Bughall Creek and the curiously named Leatherbreeches Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain surrounding Beckhams Lake.
