1974 Map of Climax South

About this map

Attapulgus and Climax anchor the southern and northern reaches of this mid-1970s survey of Decatur County, Georgia. The landscape is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a network of watercourses including Attapulgus Creek, Walker Branch, and Yellow Water Branch. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of rural religious and burial sites. Genealogists can find the Samuel Cem, Conyers Cem, and Butler Cem, alongside numerous churches like Mt Moriah Ch No 1 and Mt Moriah Ch No 2. The topography rises toward Curry Hill in the northwest, while a prominent pipeline and the county boundary with Grady County provide additional geographic context for researchers studying land use and development patterns in this South Georgia region.
