1973 Map of Fitzgerald West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The street grid of Fitzgerald anchors the eastern edge of this South Georgia landscape, where the CSX rail line facilitates the local economy. Established as a colony for Civil War veterans, the town's unique history is reflected in its structured layout, including Blue and Gray Park and several local institutions like Dorminy Memorial Hospital and the Fitzgerald Municipal Airport. Moving west across the Irwin and Ben Hill county line, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of timber and agriculture drained by Willacoochee Creek and Courthouse Branch. Scattered rural settlements like Mystic and Westwood are defined by their community hubs, including Arbor Church, New Prospect Church, and Friendship Church. The map also details early educational sites such as the Ben Hill-Irwin Vocational School, documenting the region's focus on technical training and industry in the late 20th century.
