About this map

The Little River forms a winding natural boundary between Brooks and Lowndes counties, carving a path through a landscape of wetlands and small agricultural settlements. This 1961 survey, updated with 1974 aerial revisions, captures the rural character of the region just as modern infrastructure began to expand. In the western portion of the map, Morven sits at a crossroads, while the larger town of Hahira occupies the northeastern corner, supported by the Southern railroad line.

A network of local landmarks provides a clear view of the area's social fabric, including several community churches like Second Elizabeth Ch and the Webb-Miller Sch. The map preserves the location of numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Corinth Cem and Rizer Cem, while an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the southwest indicates earlier transportation corridors that once served these timber and farm communities.
