1971 Map of Lake Park
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Ocean Pond and its neighboring basins dominate this south Georgia landscape, where the karst topography of Lowndes County has created a dense cluster of lakes and sinkholes. This 1971 orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view, combining traditional topographic contouring with aerial photographic imagery to show the true character of the cypress-lined waters and pine woods. The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad cuts a straight line through the terrain, anchoring the settlements of Dasher, Twin Lakes, and Lake Park. Local history is preserved in the location of the Hickory Grove Cemetery and rural congregations like Strickland Ch. Along the eastern edge, the Alapahoochee River and Hickory Grove Swamp define the boundary with Echols County, while the southern margin reaches the Georgia-Florida state line, capturing the transition into Hamilton County through a network of smaller ponds like Zeigler Pond.
