1972 Map of Fitzgerald East

About this map

Fitzgerald serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, where the town's grid of streets like Alapaha St and Ohoopee St meets the agricultural expanse of Ben Hill Co. The map captures a transition from urban development, including the courthouse and Fitzgerald Country Club, to rural farming communities centered around small houses of worship such as New Mt Zion Ch and Pine Level Ch. A network of water bodies, including Lake Beatrice and the headwaters of Satilla Creek, defines the local drainage.
