1973 Map of Chula

About this map

Chula serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Tift County, where the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad and the highway network intersect. The map illustrates a community deeply rooted in rural development during the early 1970s, evidenced by the presence of the University of Georgia Research Laboratories in the southeast. Water management and local industry are visible through features like Whiddons Millpond and the various branches feeding into the Little River. Small settlements such as Inaha and Sunsweet are connected by rural roads and rail lines, while local life is centered around institutions like Mt Zion Ch, Friendship Ch, and Tift Sch. The geography is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including Hat Creek, Heard Creek, and Old Field Creek, which carve through the south-central Georgia terrain.
