1960 Map of Warthen NE

About this map

The Hancock Co Washington Co line runs through this 1960 landscape, defining a rural Georgia territory where small water bodies and country churches form the backbone of the community. Several prominent religious centers serve the area, including St Pauls Ch, St James Ch, and New Hope Ch, alongside the Mineral Springs Ch. The hydrology is defined by the Little Ogeechee River and Williamson Swamp, with numerous man-made impoundments such as Hamburgh Millpond and Burgamy Millpond indicating a history of water-powered milling. These millponds, along with Aiken Pond and McWhorter Pond, suggest a localized agrarian economy reliant on these water resources before the widespread modernization of the late twentieth century. Family landmarks like the Cummings Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this quiet corner of the state.
