1978 Map of Henderson Still

About this map

Arabia Swamp and a series of expansive shallow basins dominate this Georgia landscape at the intersection of Atkinson, Clinch, and Lanier Counties. The terrain is defined by its namesake "bays" — elliptical depressions such as Featherbed Bay, Wolf Bay, and the uniquely named Fifty Dollar Bay. Settlement is sparse, anchored by Henderson Still where a Lookout Tower stands watch over the pine-rich lowlands and wetlands. The map details the rural infrastructure of the 1970s, showing quiet country roads like Brinson Road and Courson Road cutting through the dense vegetation. Religious and community life is centered at Ozias Ch and Salem Ch, the latter accompanied by a small Cem. The drainage patterns of Hog Creek and Mud Creek further illustrate the hydrologic complexity of this part of the coastal plain, where Bee Pond Flats and Sow Bay create a labyrinth of seasonal water and swampy bottomland.
