1960 Map of Warthen NE

About this map

The Little Ogeechee River and its numerous tributaries, including Cowpen Creek and Stabley Branch, carve through this landscape along the Hancock and Washington County line. The map highlights a rural economy centered on water management and spiritual life, evidenced by the presence of Hamburg Millpond and Burgamy Millpond, alongside several local congregations such as New Hope Ch and St James Ch. A decommissioned transportation corridor is visible via the Old Railroad Grade in the southeastern quadrant near Patterson Creek. Geologists and local historians may find interest in the documented Mineral Springs and the scattered family-named features like McWhorter Pond and the Cummings Cemetery, which provide specific points of reference for genealogical research in this Georgia backcountry.
