1968 Map of Cogdell

About this map

Cogdell and the surrounding piney lowlands of Georgia come into focus during this mid-century period of land management and rural settlement. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Suwannee Creek and Perch Creek snake through numerous flatwoods depressions known locally as bays, such as Huckleberry Bay and Piney Bay. These wetlands and slow-moving water bodies dictated the placement of early infrastructure, including the straight-running logging roads and firebreaks that crisscross the region.
