About this map

The Southern Railway corridor anchors this 1970s landscape, connecting the town of Unadilla with the smaller communities of Elko and Grovania to the north. This central Georgia region is defined by its agricultural layout, where fine red dashed lines indicate field and fence boundaries visible from 1973 aerial photography. The boundary between Houston Co and Dooly Co cuts across the southern portion of the map, just north of the Unadilla settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including family-named sites such as Means Lane Cem and Middlebrooks Cem. Community life is reflected in rural institutions like Oak Grove Ch, Southside Sch, and St Johns Ch. The terrain is drained by several water bodies, including Big Creek and Sugar Hill Creek, while the presence of the Langston Airstrip and a Radio Tower near Grovania show the mid-century modernization of this rural area.
