About this map

The Central Of Georgia railroad corridor anchors this 1971 study, cutting through the community of Waverly and connecting it to smaller outposts like Macedonia and Gold Hill. This area, where Lee, Chambers, and Tallapoosa counties converge, reveals a landscape defined by its rural intersections and religious landmarks. Local history is preserved in several community-named landmarks, such as Middle Brooks Crossroads and Rowells Crossroads, which served as essential gathering points for the surrounding agricultural tracts.

Waterways like Sandy Creek and the winding Loblackee Creek dictate the topography, while the prevalence of rural congregations such as Mt Traveler Ch, Allen Chapel, and Mt Sinai Ch reflects the social fabric of the era. Genealogists will find value in the placement of several burial grounds, including Canaan Cem and Rowells Cem, situated near established settlements like Jamesville. The map also captures the Southern landscape just as modern infrastructure began to delineate more formal corporate boundaries along Sougahatchee Creek.
