1977 Map of Cobb

About this map

Lake Blackshear dominates the landscape of this 1970s survey, marking the intersection of Sumter, Crisp, and Lee counties. The reservoir, formed by the impoundment of the Flint River, serves as the centerpiece for the Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park, which includes a campground and public facilities. The regional economy is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which bisects the terrain from east to west, passing through the small settlement of Cobb. Along the shores and surrounding rural lands, several claypits indicate localized extraction industries.
