About this map

Colquitt serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated at the crossroads of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and several regional thoroughfares. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, including the County High Sch and a municipal Sewage Disposal facility. Beyond the town limits, the agricultural character of Miller County is evident in the scattered settlements of Jeterville and Corea, alongside numerous rural houses of worship such as Ebenezer Ch, Harmony Ch, and Thompson Ch.

The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and drainage patterns, with Spring Creek and Long Branch flowing through the western reaches while Big Drain meanders to the east. Local history and genealogy are preserved through several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Shepard Cem, Rawls Cem, and Swingington Cem. Notable rural infrastructure such as a Landing Strip and Roadside Park illustrate the mid-century transportation and community markers of this Southwest Georgia region.
