1977 Map of Manningtown

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Manningtown and its surrounding wetlands define this portion of Wayne County during the mid-1970s. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Penholoway Bay and the winding course of Penholoway Creek, which is crossed by the historically named Rosin Ford. This area exhibits a distinct pattern of 'islands'—elevated ground within the marshy lowlands—such as Strickland Island, Downing Island, and Palmetto Island, many of which are accessed by a network of timber and access roads like Pendarvis Road. Local community life is anchored by the Little Creek Ch and a nearby Cem in the settlement, while the Southern railroad corridor skirts the northeastern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures an era of rural Georgia where the logging and turpentine history is reflected in names like Big Cypress Swamp and Little Okefenokee Swamp.
