1964 Map of Watkinsville

About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce and travel through Oconee County, connecting the settlements of Watkinsville, Bishop, and Farmington. This rural landscape is defined by its agricultural character, evidenced by the sprawling Southern Piedmont Experimental Station and the US Dept of Agriculture facilities near the northern boundary. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways such as Calls Creek and the Apalachee River, where smaller tributaries like Robinson Creek and Whitlow Creek drain into the river valley.
