About this map

The town of Nashville serves as a clear focal point in this portion of South Georgia, where a mix of municipal infrastructure and rural agriculture defines the landscape. Urban features like the Courthouse, Hospital, and the Berrien County Airport are concentrated in the west, while the tracks of the Central of Georgia railroad cut across the countryside. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by water, featuring the prominent Averys Millpond and Gin Pond, which are fed by the meandering courses of Tenmile Creek and Gin Branch.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides a detailed look at community life outside the city limits. Numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Mt Pleasant Ch and its associated Mt Pleasant Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle. Smaller settlements like Allenville and Weber appear along the roads and rail lines, illustrating the 1970s distribution of population between Berrien and Lanier counties.
