1977 Map of Boston

About this map

Boston sits as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the town’s orientation and growth. The surrounding countryside in Thomas County is defined by a dense network of country roads like Ozell Road and Moultrie Road, connecting a series of rural spiritual centers including St Josephs Ch, Antioch Ch, and Prospect Ch. The hydrology of the region is notably diverse, featuring the winding Aucilla River alongside curious geological formations such as Howell Sinks. Private and named water bodies like Massey-Ferguson Pond and Cambest Pond suggest a landscape managed for agriculture and timber. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and church burial grounds, from Williams Cem in the north to Centenary Cem in the southeast, providing a clear picture of local settlement patterns during the late 1970s.
