SCROLL to right to see Flint River and where Taylor County began.

Note that Union Community was located just outside the section which historically had been a part of Crawford County and was the Indian Agency.

The Road created by an act of Congress in 1810, beginning at Augusta passing through Warrenton, Sparta, Milledgeville, Macon and Knoxville to Coweta Town (Columbus). It was formerly known as the Stage Coach Road. A telegraph line, the first that connected New Orleans with Washington, D.C., was erected in 1843. The wires paralleled this road between Columbus and Macon, giving to this section of the old highway the name of "The Federal Wire Road." This telegraph line was also the first one to be erected in the State of Georgia.
