1971 Map of Hazlehurst North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hazlehurst serves as the primary regional hub in the early 1970s, where the Southern and Central Of Georgia railroads converge. The landscape is defined by the significant confluence of the Ocmulgee River and Oconee River, which join to form the Altamaha River. This river system creates a complex network of landings and bluffs, including Town Bluff Landing and Bells Ferry Landing, reflecting a legacy of river-based transport and commerce. Inland, the map reveals a rural community structured around family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as Philadelphia Ch and Big Bethel Ch. The presence of numerous small burial grounds like Mobley Cem and Lynn Cem provides valuable data for genealogists tracing South Georgia families. The terrain transitions from the low-lying river bottoms to the higher ground of the Jeff Davis Country Club and the emerging suburbs near Palms Memorial Gardens.
