1978 Map of Dixie

About this map

Dixie serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape during the late 1970s, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. This map reveals a community deeply rooted in its religious and educational institutions, featuring numerous rural churches such as Beulah Hill Ch, Simmon Hill Ch, and Ham City Ch. The presence of the County Training Sch and Westbrook High Sch near the town center underscores the local investment in schooling during this period. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Piscola Creek and Carroll Branch, with agricultural and woodland patterns punctuated by small settlements like Pideock and the distinctive geological area known as The Sinks. From the Robinson Cem to the Hunter Cem, family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout, providing a valuable record of local genealogy and land ownership.
