1978 Map of Berlin West

About this map

Okapilco Creek and its many tributaries, including Hog Creek and Little Creek, define the landscape of south-central Georgia during the late 1970s. The map illustrates a rural society organized around crossroads communities and numerous country congregations. Notable religious landmarks such as Hopewell Ch, Sardis Ch, and Wesley Chapel serve as anchor points across the undulating terrain. A distinct educational history is preserved in the location of the Culbertson Sch near Evelyn. The interaction of infrastructure and agriculture is evident in the Pipeline corridor and a small Landing Strip that cut through the woodlands and fields. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of Berlin represents the primary population center, while smaller locales like Ione and Troy reflect the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of Colquitt Co and its neighbors during this era of photorevised mapping.
