About this map

The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad corridor anchors the western half of this South Georgia landscape, running through the settlements of Eldorado, Staunton, and the central hub of Lenox. This survey reveals a deeply agricultural region at the start of the 1970s, where small rural congregations like Bethlehem Ch and Oak Grove Ch are scattered across the county lines of Tift, Berrien, and Cook.

The hydrology of the coastal plain is well-defined by the southward flow of the New River and its numerous tributaries, including Reedy Creek, Brushy Creek, and Gum Branch. Local aviation is noted with a Landing Strip near the river, while civil infrastructure is represented by a Lookout Tower and a Sewage Disposal Pond on the outskirts of Lenox. The map provides a detailed look at the rural road network connecting isolated farmsteads and churches like Pine Grove Ch and Lakeview Ch during this era.
