About this map

Broxton anchors the southern portion of this South Georgia landscape in the early 1970s, situated at the intersection of rural highways and the Georgia and Florida Railway line. The town's grid is marked by a Water Tank and the nearby Hayes Sch, reflecting a settled agricultural community. Moving north, the landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Roses Creek, Reedy Creek, and Ninemile Creek, which cut through the varied elevations near Rose Hill.

Smaller rural hubs like Pridgen and Sapps Still appear along the main corridors, serving as focal points for local history. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, from De Berry Ch and Reedy Branch Ch to several family-named burial sites such as Benjamin Chapel Cem and Harper Cem. The map also captures infrastructure of the era, including a local Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, alongside the tri-county boundary where Coffee, Ben Hill, and Irwin counties meet.
