About this map

Upatoi and Box Springs anchor this mid-century look at the borderlands of Muscogee, Talbot, and Marion counties. The landscape is defined by the extensive Fort Benning Military Reservation to the south, while the northern reaches reveal a network of rural communities centered around small houses of worship. Local genealogists will find several notable landmarks, including Mt Pilgrim Ch, Sweet Home Ch, and Mt Paron Ch.

Transport and industry follow the natural terrain, with the Central of Georgia railroad line cutting across the eastern portion of the map near the Upatoi Boundary. Water features like Upatoi Creek, Juniper Creek, and Kings Millpond drain the area, supporting historical sites like Kings Mill. The presence of the Crossroads Sch and several cemeteries throughout the hills provides a clear picture of the social and educational infrastructure of this Georgia countryside during the 1950s.
