1968 Map of Homerville East

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Homerville and the smaller village of Argyle anchor this survey of the South Georgia flatwoods, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad creates a rigid diagonal across a landscape defined by wetlands and creek branches. The map illustrates the region's unique geography, characterized by "bays"—shallow, swampy depressions such as Isiac Bay, Bunkle Bay, and Devils Bay—alternating with higher ground like Sandy Flats. This interplay between the linear iron of the railroad and the meandering courses of Suwannee Creek and Cane Creek dictated the placement of early settlements and roads. Local heritage is preserved through the locations of the Clinch Memorial Hospital and rural congregations like New Pine Grove Ch and Shiloh Ch. The abundance of named branches, such as Polly Branch and Martha Branch, reflects the intricate drainage network vital to the local timber and turpentine industries.
