1961 Map of Hahira West

About this map

The Little River carves a winding, forested path along the boundary between Brooks and Lowndes counties, serving as the central geographic feature of this South Georgia landscape. In the early 1960s, the rural character of the region is defined by a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks. The Old Coffee Road cuts through the northwest, tracing a historic travel route that predates modern infrastructure. To the west, Morven sits at a crossroads of local commerce, while Hahira occupies the northeast corner, served by the Southern Ry and situated near the Webb-Miller Sch. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous small cemeteries and congregations such as Mt Zion Ch, Second Elizabeth Ch, and Miller Cem. Land use is a mix of agricultural clearings and swampy lowlands around Slaughter Creek and Jones Creek.
