1971 Map of K'ville

About this map

Big Satilla Creek defines the low-lying wetlands of this South Georgia landscape, where numerous tributaries like Colemans Creek and Sweetwater Creek carve through the terrain. The 1971 field check reveals a community anchored by rural institutions, notably School No 4 and a dense network of country churches including Morris Chapel, Christian Springs Ch, and Piney Grove Ch. Small family and community burial grounds are frequent, with Paulk Cem, Holland Cem, and Williamson Cem appearing as established landmarks. The settlement of K'Ville sits near the eastern boundary, where the map documents the convergence of Appling and Wayne counties. The distribution of these churches and cemeteries across the coastal plain suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed agrarian settlement typical of the era, connected by a maturing network of light-duty and unimproved roads.
