1972 Map of Workmore

About this map

The settlement of Workmore and the surrounding Telfair County landscape are captured here as they appeared in the early 1970s. The area is defined by a network of rural churches and family-linked cemeteries, including Frances Chapel, Macedonia Ch, and the Mc Lean Cem. A clear pattern of agricultural life is evident, with fine red dashed lines indicating field and fence lines interpreted from 1971 aerial photography. The terrain is drained by several watercourses such as Horse Creek, Boggy Branch, and Turnpike Creek, which likely influenced the early road and settlement patterns of the region. Notable landmarks from the era include the Telfair Lookout Tower and the small community at Cobbville. This survey provides a precise record of rural Georgia’s infrastructure and landmarks before decades of modernization, making it a valuable tool for genealogists and local historians.
