1972 Map of Lax

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Satilla River and Willacoochee River drain this south Georgia landscape where Coffee, Atkinson, Irwin, and Berrien counties meet. This survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates a rural agricultural and timber environment punctuated by small settlements like Lax and Bridgetown. The social geography of the era is defined by its numerous country churches, including Calvary Ch, Union Ch, and Beulah Ch, which often served as the primary landmarks for local families and genealogists tracking ancestors in this region. Intermittent wetlands and creek beds like Forty Creek and Pudding Creek lace through the terrain, showing the drainage patterns before modern land management significantly altered these tributary systems. Smaller locales like Nolan appear alongside several unnamed cemeteries, indicating a long-established pattern of rural homesteads and family plots.
