1970 Map of Uvalda

About this map

The Oconee River defines the western edge of this landscape, its winding channel marking the boundary between Wheeler and Montgomery Counties. The river's oxbows and floodplains, including the namesake Dead River, contrast with the upland agricultural and timber lands to the east. The town of Uvalda serves as the primary hub, situated at the intersection of local roads and the Central of Georgia rail line. Smaller settlements like Charlotteville and Long Pond appear nearby, reflecting the rural social structure of the early 1970s.
