About this map

Norman Park serves as the primary hub in this South Georgia landscape, where the town's grid is anchored by Baker Mem Park and local landmarks like St Lukes Ch. The surrounding rural territory is defined by the tri-county meeting point of Worth, Tift, and Colquitt counties. A network of meandering waterways, including Warrior Creek, Ty Ty Creek, and Reedy Creek, carves through the terrain, dictating the placement of early settlements and agricultural lands.

Transport history is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally through Crosland, suggesting the transition from rail-based commerce to road-dependent agriculture. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several country churches and family-named cemeteries, such as Paulls Cem and Deep Bottom Cem. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower reflects the mid-century infrastructure required for forestry and local aviation in this pocket of the coastal plain.
