About this map

The Little River meanders along the county lines in this rural stretch of South Georgia, serving as a natural boundary between Colquitt, Cook, and Brooks counties. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and spiritual centers, with numerous country churches like China Grove Ch, Trinity Ch, and Hempstead Ch serving as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads. The settlement of Berlin sits on the western edge, while Barney and New Rock Hill anchor the southern reaches of the map near the edge of the coastal plain.

Evidence of historical transportation networks is preserved through the Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally across the terrain towards the southwest. This corridor, along with several family-named water bodies such as Pikes Cr and Okapilco Creek, provides a detailed look at the rural geography during the mid-1970s. The presence of several Cem labels near the churches offers valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this corner of Georgia.
