About this map

Ambrose and Bushnell anchor this South Georgia landscape, where the agricultural rhythm of Coffee County is punctuated by rural landmarks and a network of shifting transportation lines. The Seaboard Coast Line runs diagonally through the territory, passing by Upton and several small rural congregations including Salem Ch and Bethany Ch. The map records a transition in mobility, capturing both the active rail corridor and a segment of Old Railroad Grade north of Broxton.

Family history is well-preserved through several small burial grounds such as Day Cem and Chaney Cem that serve the surrounding farmsteads. The land is defined by the drainage of the Seventeen Mile River and its various tributaries, including Halls Creek and Bear Creek. On the outskirts of Douglas, modern additions like the Drive-in Theater and local radio towers appear alongside older structures like the High Sch in Broxton.
