1971 Map of Douglas North

About this map

Douglas serves as the focal point of this Coffee County landscape, showing a dense grid of streets and civic infrastructure including the Courthouse, Po, and City Hall. The surrounding rural territory is defined by a network of drainage basins, most notably the Seventeen Mile River and Twenty Mile Creek, which carve through the woodland and agricultural fields. Smaller rural nodes like Lotts and Huffer appear along the transportation routes, while an Old Railroad Grade north of Douglas marks a legacy of earlier transit patterns. This 1971 survey, with 1983 photo-revisions, documents a community balancing its municipal growth with rural traditions. The map is particularly rich in genealogy potential, recording numerous community anchors such as Harrel Cem Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and the Oak Grove Cem, reflecting the distribution of early families across the countryside.
