1973 Map of Irwinville

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Alapaha River creates a meandering natural corridor through this south Georgia landscape, defining the boundary between Irwin and Turner counties. The area is characterized by a high density of named ponds and lakes, such as White Oak Lake, Brickyard Lake, and Burnt Island Lake, suggesting a terrain shaped by lime sinks and natural depressions common to the coastal plain. In the southeast, the historic settlement of Irwinville sits near the Jefferson Davis Memorial County Park, marking a significant site of Civil War history. The map captures the balance between agricultural development and the native riverine environment, with river crossings like Turner Lake Ford and Flat Ford still noted alongside more modern features like the Crystal Lake Airpark. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks including Big Creek Ch and several family-named ponds that reflect generations of land use.
