1971 Map of Wilsonville

About this map

The Seventeen Mile River snakes through the southern reaches of this landscape, its wide floodplain punctuated by the smaller Twentynine Mile Cr. In the early 1970s, the small community of Wilsonville serves as a central point in this rural Georgia setting, situated near the Teston Cem and the Davis Cem. The region is defined by scattered religious and burial sites that indicate long-standing family settlements, including Little Geneva Ch and its associated Little Geneva Cem in the northwest, and Forest Grove Ch in the central corridor. Economic activity is visible through a Sandpit operation near the northern boundary of the Coffee Co Ware Co line. The map captures an intricate network of waterways like Dry Creek and Hurricane Creek, set against a backdrop of timbered lowlands and an indefinite boundary between the two counties.
