1971 Map of Du Pont

About this map

Green Bay and the surrounding pine flatwoods of Clinch County dominate this early 1970s orthophotomap, which utilizes aerial photography to document the landscape's intricate drainage and vegetation patterns. The settlement of Du Pont sits in the northwest corner at the junction of the Seaboard and Coast Line railroads, reflecting the historic importance of the timber and transport industries in this part of Georgia. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, from the Olive Leaf Ch and Eason Cem to the open waters of Lake Verne. The orthophoto style uniquely captures the transition from managed forest tracts to natural wetlands like the swampy margins of Lees, offering a precise record of land use before modern development or forest management shifts.
