About this map

Agricultural lowlands and wetland margins define this landscape at the intersection of Colquitt, Cook, and Brooks Counties. The town of Berlin serves as a focal point in the northwest, while Barney anchors the southeast corner, connected by a network of rural roads and an extensive Old Railroad Grade that traces a diagonal path across the terrain. This corridor, passing by markers like Simpson A and Kemskey, highlights the importance of historic transport routes in shaping South Georgia's early development.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Little River and Okapilco Creek winding through the countryside. Local spiritual and social life is evidenced by numerous country churches, including China Grove Ch, Trinity Ch, and Antioch Ch. Small family-named landmarks and settlements like New Rock Hill and Scruggs offer valuable clues for genealogists researching the residents who lived along the banks of Slaughter Creek and Indian Creek during the mid-1970s.
