1970 Map of Metter

About this map

The city of Metter serves as the focal point of this Candler County survey, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts through the center of town. Civil life in the early 1970s is well-documented, from the Courthouse and City Hall to the Hospital and the local Drive-in Theater. Smaller, outlying settlements such as Ollifftown and Union anchor the surrounding rural landscape, which is heavily defined by a dendritic network of waterways including Fifteenmile Creek, Stocking Head Creek, and the Canoochee R along the southern border.
