About this map

Leesburg serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad intersects with a rural network of churches and crossroads. The survey reveals a community defined by its waterways, notably the winding paths of Kinchafoonee Creek and Muckalee Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain. In the southern portion of the sheet, Palmyra and Palmyra Springs mark a localized center of settlement near the edge of Chehaw State Park.

The presence of multiple family and community landmarks, such as Byne Crossroads, Lowe Cem, and several local congregations like Alpha Ch and Mt Calvary Ch, provides significant detail for researchers of local lineage. The infrastructure of the early 1970s is well-documented, showing the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and several utility features including a Radio Facility and a Sandpit north of the creeks.
