1974 Map of Donalsonville East

About this map

Iron City and the eastern edge of Donalsonville anchor this mid-1970s survey of the Georgia coastal plain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural communities across the Seminole County line. Travelers and residents alike were served by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which parallels Highway 84 through the small settlement of Sharphagen. The presence of numerous small churches such as New Home Ch, Union Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch suggests a rural society built around local congregations. Natural drainage is provided by the winding courses of Aycocks Creek and Dry Creek, while the Donalsonville Municipal Airport and a prominent Pipeline indicate the modernization of the local infrastructure during this era.
