(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the growth of roads and transportation in Georgia and Bulloch County beginning in 1807.) By 1860, the state of Georgia had basic standards for its roads: all roads must be cleared of trees and bushes, with overhanging limbs being cut so as not to inconvenience horse or carriage-men; the remaining stumps must be cut as close to the ground as possible; and the carriage track must be at least 5 feet, 6 inches wide. In a 1910 report on Georgia’s highways, S.W. McCallie, the state geologist, stated there were already 81,182 miles of public roadways in Georgia. About 900 miles of those roads were in Bulloch County.
