About this map

The agricultural and transit hub of Moultrie anchors this late-1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its river systems and early-century rail corridors. The Georgia Northern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads provide the skeleton for numerous rural settlements, including Doerun, Norman Park, and Omega. Significant aviation infrastructure is present at the Spence Air Force Auxiliary Field and various municipal airports serving the surrounding counties.

Natural features are dominated by the winding paths of the Withlacoochee River and the Alapaha River, alongside recreation areas like Reed Bingham State Park. In the southeast, the expansive waters of Banks Lake and Rays Millpond stand out against the patterned topography of the coastal plain. This edition serves as a clear record of South Georgia's municipal boundaries and the enduring network of small towns such as Enigma, Lenox, and Berlin before modern interstate development further altered the regional flow.
