About this map

The railroad hub of Cordele serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, showing the city's transition as it expanded near the Crisp Co-Cordele Airport and Pine Hills Country Club. The landscape is a complex network of agriculture and water management, punctuated by numerous small impoundments such as Rays Millpond, Williams Lake, and Burds Millpond. The presence of the Cordele Fish Hatchery and the County Prison Farm south of the city reflect the diverse land use of Crisp County during this era.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed mapping of numerous burial grounds and rural congregations, including Sunnyside Cem, Blackshear Trail Sch Cem, and Macedonia Ch. Outlying settlements like Raines and Wenona are captured alongside essential community landmarks such as the Crisp County High School and the Vocational High Sch, documenting the educational and social infrastructure of the region.
