About this map

Douglas serves as the hub of this Georgia survey, positioned where the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Coast Line railroads meet. The landscape north of the city is defined by the winding course of the Seventeen Mile River and its various tributaries, including Twenty Mile Creek and Tiger Creek. In this era, rural life is marked by numerous country churches and schools that served the surrounding agricultural land, such as Oak Grove Ch, Mt Calvary Ch, and Central Sch.

Smaller community clusters like Pickerton and Huffer appear along the regional road network, while the city center of Douglas contains concentrated civic infrastructure including the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Po. The presence of industrial and recreational sites, from the Sandpit operations along the river to Gaskin Springs Camp and the Douglas Country Club, illustrates the mid-century development patterns of Coffee County as it balanced industry with local community spaces.
