1972 Map of Fitzgerald East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Fitzgerald's eastern grid and the surrounding agricultural landscape of South Georgia are defined by the convergence of rail and creek systems in the early 1970s. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving as a primary corridor through small communities like Ashton and Pine Level. This area sits at the boundary of Ben Hill and Irwin counties, where the land begins to drain into numerous watercourses including Turkey Creek, Satilla Creek, and Willacoochee Creek. Local heritage is preserved in the high density of small rural burial grounds and sanctuaries, such as Old Field Cem, Mc Cook Cem, and Mt Olive Ch. The map illustrates the town's expansion toward the Fitzgerald Country Club and Lake Beatrice, contrasting the organized municipal streets with the irregular patterns of the outlying swampy lowlands along Brushy Creek.
