1970 Map of Metter

About this map

The city of Metter serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad intersects with a growing street grid that includes a Courthouse, City Hall, and a local High School. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of slow-moving coastal plain waterways, most notably Fifteenmile Creek and the Canoochee River in the south. These drainage patterns influenced early settlement, visible in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural outposts such as Ollifftown and Union.
