1971 Map of Gee Pond

About this map

The south Georgia landscape near the Mitchell Co Grady Co line is defined by its subtle depressions and an extensive network of small country churches. This 1971 study highlights the importance of spiritual and community centers like Mt Vernon Ch, Allen Chapel, and Mizpah Ch in the daily lives of rural residents. The hydrology of the area is particularly distinctive, featuring natural sinks and basins such as Gee Pond, Bay Pole Sink, and the colorfully named Devils Den and Glory Hole.
