About this map

The boundary between Colquitt Co and Thomas Co bisects this landscape, where the agricultural plains of southern Georgia meet the winding course of the Ochlockonee River. The settlement of Coolidge anchors the southwestern corner, characterized by its grid of streets and the Jr Academy. To the north, the small community of Murphy sits near the junction of several rural roads, home to Temple Ch and New Hope Ch.

Transportation and infrastructure dominate the central corridor, with the Seaboard Coast Line railroad running diagonally alongside the Moultrie-Thomasville Airport. This area is a network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Murphy Cem and the Sunset Sch near Sunset Lake. The eastern edge is defined by the Georgia Northern rail line passing through Autreyville, illustrating the vital role of rail transport in connecting these farming communities during the late 1970s.
