1970 Map of Metter SE

About this map

The Canoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of Candler County, defining a landscape of wetlands and timbered creek bottoms in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a rural Georgia community structured around its spiritual and social centers, including Primitive Grove Ch, Evergreen Ch, and Charlton Grove Ch. Significant water features like Bowens Pond and Laniers Pond are scattered throughout the terrain, suggesting the importance of local irrigation and fishing. Near the northern border, Metter Airport provides a modern link to the region, while the boundary lines of Tattnall and Evans counties intersect in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the inclusion of family-named landmarks like Dixon Grove Cem and Everitt Cem offers valuable clues into the settlement patterns of this agrarian district.
