Nothing in Blythe is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Blythe has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Bath Presbyterian Church and Cemetery in Augusta-Richmond County consolidated government, 3 miles away.
