About this map

The town of Arabi sits at the intersection of local history and modern transit, centered on the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad. This landscape, straddling the Crisp Co Turner Co line, is defined by small agricultural settlements and a high density of country churches and family cemeteries. To the southeast, small communities like Dakota and Sibley are connected by a network of rural roads and the occasional Jeep Trail.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including the Arabi-Antioch Cem and the Pitts Cem. The terrain is drained by several waterways, most notably Lime Creek and Deep Creek, which carve through the plains near Rattlesnake Ridge. This 1970s record documents the region just as the interstate era was firmly established, as seen by the Rest Area and highway corridors that parallel the older rail lines.
