About this map

The Ochlockonee River and Withlacoochee River drain a South Georgia landscape defined by agriculture and aviation during the late 1970s. Larger regional hubs like Moultrie and Tifton anchor a network of smaller communities, including the uniquely named Enigma and the railroad settlement of Ray City. The presence of several regional airstrips, including Henry Tift Myers Airport and the Moody Air Force Auxiliary Field, underscores the area's strategic logistical importance.

Conservation and recreation are visible at Reed Bingham State Park on the border of Colquitt Co and Cook Co. Water features such as Banks Lake and the Alapaha River provide a glimpse into the wetlands and blackwater systems that characterize the eastern edge of this quadrangle. This map serves as an important record of the rural Georgia coastal plain's road and rail infrastructure, including the Georgia Northern line.
