1965 Map of Woodville

About this map

The borderlands of Greene and Oglethorpe Counties are defined here by a network of rural settlements and agricultural topography as they appeared in the mid-1960s. Woodville and Bairdstown serve as primary nodes along the Georgia 77 corridor and the Georgia railroad line, while smaller communities like Durham Town and Temperance Bell appear further east. The landscape is deeply dissected by the North Fork Little River and its numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Tuggle Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate several landmark houses of worship, such as Bairds Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Bethesda Ch. Notable landmarks like a Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower near the town center contrast with the quiet rural character of Jacksonville and the southern reaches near Stewarts Lake.
