1972 Map of Mora

About this map

The Satilla River carves a winding path through the center of this terrain, its wide floodplain punctuated by wetlands and small tributaries like Reedy Creek and Forky Creek. This 1970s landscape on the boundary of Coffee Co and Atkinson Co reveals a rural Georgia economy rooted in agriculture and timber, with numerous farm structures and fields indicated by the 1987 photogrammetric revisions. The presence of the Sou railroad corridor passing through the settlement of Mora underscores the historic importance of rail transport for moving local goods. Further south, the community of Oberry sits near the headwaters of Dark Bay, while rural spiritual life is documented through several localized landmarks including Hebron Ch, St Elias Ch, and Wesley Chapel. The extensive network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail suggests a working landscape deeply tied to the river and its surrounding woods.
