About this map

The town of Kite sits near the crossing of the Ohoopee River and Holten Creek in the mid-1970s. This agricultural landscape in eastern Georgia is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural congregations, reflecting generations of local settlement. Numerous small churches serve the community, including Sand Hill Ch and Gum Log Ch, while the surrounding terrain is marked by many private family burial grounds such as Fortner Cem and Anderson Cem.

The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with Big Battleground Creek and Little Battleground Creek draining into Fortner Pond. Near the boundary of Johnson Co and Emanuel Co, the landscape transitions into low-lying areas like the Flat Creek basin. The presence of features like Pills Ponds and the Roadside Park indicate the area's mix of natural water resources and established travel routes during this era.
