About this map

Moultrie serves as a significant regional hub in southwest Georgia, shown here during a period of late-century expansion. The urban core is anchored by the City Hall, the Federal Bldg, and a concentration of schools including the High Sch and Jr High Sch. The town's industrial and logistical character is defined by the Georgia Northern Railroad corridor and numerous facilities like the Industrial Waste Ponds and various substations that support the growing city.

Outside the main settlement, the landscape transitions into a mix of rural communities and water features. The Ochlockonee River and Okapilco Creek frame the town, while smaller outposts like Schley and Funston appear along the rail and road networks. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the West View Cemetery and Strong Cem to several neighborhood churches such as Winchester Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch, which highlight the established social fabric of Colquitt County at this time.
