1972 Map of Henderson Still

About this map

Henderson Still marks a significant local landmark in this pocket of the Georgia wiregrass country, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of shallow depressions known as bays and expansive wetlands. The terrain is a mosaic of swampy lowlands and pine flatwoods, including the massive Arabia Swamp in the southeast and the curiously named Fifty Dollar Bay. Evidence of the region’s forestry and turpentine heritage is anchored by the Lookout Tower near the meeting of Atkinson, Lanier, and Clinch counties. The rural social fabric of the early 1970s is preserved through the location of small country churches like Ozias Ch and Salem Ch, along with an unnamed Cem, serving the dispersed homesteads connected by sandy tracks like Brinson Road and Courson Road.
