About this map

The town of Cochran serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, defined by its traditional grid and the presence of Middle Georgia College at the southern edge. The Southern railroad line cuts through the heart of the settlement, linking it to the wider region while local institutions like Cedar Hill Cem and the County Fairground anchor the community's social and historical landscape. To the north and east, the terrain shifts into a network of agricultural land and drainages, including the prominent Gum Swamp Creek and Bollinger Creek.

Regional services are well-represented with the Ga Ctr for Mentally Retarded and Cochran Airport situated near the town. The rural outskirts are dotted with local landmarks of genealogical interest, such as St Paul Ch, Ruth Ch, and Oak Grove Ch. Water features like NeSmith Pond and the Sewage Disposal Pond reflect the era's infrastructure and land use, while a Lookout Tower and multiple radio towers, including Radio Towers (WDCO), mark the local heights.
