About this map

The growing city of Jesup serves as the focal point of this 1970 survey, revealing a bustling Southeast Georgia hub at the intersection of the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Coast Line. The map documents a significant era of civic and educational development, featuring the County High School, Wayne Memorial Hospital, and the Jesup-Wayne County Airport.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape is defined by extensive wetlands and watercourses like Little Satilla Creek and Millikin Bay. Rural life is anchored by a network of local congregations and schools, such as Flint Branch Church, New Bethel Church, and the Christian Park Academy. To the southwest, the small settlement of Slover sits near the headwaters of Walker Creek, illustrating the dispersed community patterns typical of Wayne County’s pinelands and drainage basins during this period.
