1977 Map of Mora

About this map

The Satilla River basin defines this 1970s landscape on the border of Coffee and Atkinson Counties, where a network of swampy lowlands like Dark Bay and Hilliards Pond alternates with small agrarian settlements. The Central of Georgia railroad cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet, connecting the communities of Mora and Oberry. This area is particularly rich in small country congregations, which likely served as the primary social hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. Several distinct churches are documented here, including Hebron Ch, St Illias Ch, and Wesley Chapel. The terrain is also marked by numerous watercourses such as Reedy Creek, Forky Creek, and Mill Creek, illustrating a rural Georgia environment where transportation followed the higher ground between creek drainages and rail lines.
