1970 Map of Uvalda

About this map

The Oconee River defines the western edge of this Montgomery County landscape, its meandering course creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows, including the Dead River. Inland from the river, the land transitions into timbered tracts and agricultural fields centered around the town of Uvalda. This 1970s survey, updated with 1980s photorevisions, reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by numerous family and community landmarks such as Old Salem Cem, McAllistor Cem, and St Johns Ch. The Central of Georgia railroad line serves as a primary transit corridor, passing through Uvalda and near Charlotteville in the southeast. Smaller water bodies like Rose Dew Lake and Milligan Creek drain the undulating terrain, while names like McAllistor suggest the historical legacy of local landholders.
