1974 Map of Midville

About this map

The Ogeechee River carves a broad, braided path through the heart of this landscape, creating a complex wetland network defined by secondary channels like the Dead River and numerous named oxbow lakes such as Bunn Lake, Parkers Lake, and Brown Lake. The town of Midville serves as the primary hub, situated where the Central of Georgia railroad intersects the river's edge. This 1974 survey captures the agrarian and industrial character of the coastal plain, where family-named cemeteries and rural institutions like the Dinkins Sch and St Johns Ch are scattered across the higher ground between the swampy basins.
