1971 Map of Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, including Brushy Creek and Hog Creek, dominate this rural landscape at the intersection of Coffee, Bacon, and Ware Counties. The 1971 field check captures a period when the Seaboard Coast Line railroad still cut a diagonal path through the timbered wetlands and small clearings. Small, localized settlements like Bickley and Beach serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural community, which is dotted with several family-named burial grounds including Cole Cem, Bagley Cem, and Moore Cem. This survey provides a distinct look at the land-use patterns of the era, where extractive industry is visible through several labeled sandpits near the center of the sheet. For those interested in the social geography of south Georgia, the map includes significant local landmarks such as Salem Ch, Grace Chapel, and a prominent Lookout Tower positioned near the western edge of the quadrangle.
