1970 Map of Altamaha SW

About this map

The Little Satilla Creek basin and the Appling County timberlands define this 1970 landscape, where small rural settlements like Zion and Bethel are connected by a network of unimproved roads and utility corridors. The map records a significant agrarian and forestry-based community, punctuated by landmarks such as the Tenmile Lookout Tower and the prominent industrial presence of a north-south Pipeline. Genealogists will find considerable value in the documentation of family and community spaces, including Oak Grove Ch, Harmony Ch, and several well-distributed burial grounds such as Easons Cem, Joyner Cem, and Davis Cem. The area's hydrology is dominated by the parallel courses of Tenmile Creek and Fivemile Creek, which feed into the larger creek systems that shaped the settlement patterns of McTier and Alisons.
