1958 Map of Lanier

About this map

The Seaboard Air Line railway corridor anchors the southern edge of this late 1950s survey, connecting the established community of Pembroke with the smaller settlement at Lanier. Between the rail line and the Bulloch-Bryan county line, the landscape is defined by the complex swampy drainage systems of Lower Black Creek and Mill Creek. The map documents a rural coastal plain environment where isolated high ground is often named as an island, such as Cooks Island and Jennett Island, surrounded by wetlands and bays.
