If anyone has access to a map for this time period, I'd also love to have it to put on-line on the Taylor County site.... From: "Hahn, Diane" <Diane_Hahn@tesseract.com> Subject: historical map of Georgia question. Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 08:43:17 -0800 I'm not sure if this is the right place to make this inquiry, but the University of Georgia, library of Maps department recommended that I contact you. I have an inquiry about an historical map of Georgia from sometime in the 1850 - 1870 time period. I am trying to locate a map that shows Ft. Valley and surrounding areas in Taylor county. I believe it was only on the maps for a brief period of time, perhaps only a year or two, but I would like to pin point those specific years so that I might be able to locate any such maps. I am trying to locate this map for a friend, whose family lived in that area at the time and for whom the county was named. I know that his grandfather's name was Robert Taylor and he lived in the outlying area of Ft. Valley. The Taylor family had a cotton plantation and also had a family run store in the area. There is still a "Taylor" road on the old border of their land. I'm not sure if any of this info is helpful or not. I can be reached either via email, or at (716) 256-0764. Any information you can provide would be most helpful. If you need any additional information from me, please let me know. Or if you know of other contacts or web-sites that might be helpful. Also, can you recommend any places that may sell historical maps of Georgia ? Thank you. Diane Hahn Virginia Crilley
