About this map

Waverly Hall serves as the primary hub in this Georgia landscape, situated at the intersection of the Southern railroad and regional roads. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mulberry Creek and Ossahatchie Creek, which drain the area surrounding Oak Mountain. The rural character of the mid-20th century is evidenced by a high density of community landmarks, particularly country churches such as Pitts Memorial Ch, Springfield Ch, and Mt McCatherine Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Waverly Hall Cem, Matthews Cem, and the Ridgeway Cem located near Ridgeway Ch. The map also captures the smaller settlements of Baughville and Hinton, along with industrial infrastructure like the Pipeline crossing the southern portion. The presence of Peeds Lakes and numerous small branches like Scroggins Branch illustrate the local water drainage patterns essential to the area's agricultural past.
