About this map

Havana and Attapulgus anchor this mid-century survey of the borderlands between Georgia and Florida. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Attapulgus Creek and its many tributaries, including Miller Branch and Gum Branch, which carve through the terrain. The presence of the Seaboard Air Line railroad facilitates transport between small agricultural and timber settlements like Jamieson, Hinson, and Amsterdam.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Mt Zion Sch (Abandoned) to several family-named burial sites such as Woodberry Cem, Owens Cem, and Vickers Cem. The map also captures the cultural fabric of the era through sites like the Mayflower Ch and a Boy Scout Camp near the southern edge of the sheet. The shifting industry of the region is further evidenced by a Borrow Pit and the small siding at Laingkat.
