About this map

The city of Douglas anchors the northern reaches of this Georgia landscape, featuring the sprawling grounds of South Georgia College and the Douglas Municipal Airport. As the terrain transitions south, the map reveals a rural network of small family and community landmarks, including Morman Cem and Mc Clelland Cem. The geography is defined by a distinct drainage system where the Satilla River meets the Indefinite Boundary at the border of Coffee and Atkinson County.

Evidence of local social life is found in numerous country churches like Wayfarer Ch and Harrel Grove Ch, alongside the Satilla Sch. The eastern corridor is marked by the course of the Seventeen Mile River and Twentynine Mile Creek, while the CSX railroad line cuts through the northeastern corner, indicating the vital transportation links that served this timber-rich region of the Wiregrass Country during the early 1970s.
