About this map

Norman Park sits at the heart of this South Georgia landscape, where the confluence of agricultural life and early transportation networks is clearly visible. The town center is anchored by Baker Mem Park and the nearby St Lukes Ch, while an Old Railroad Grade and a dedicated Landing Strip indicate the area's evolving transit corridors. To the northeast, the smaller settlement of Crosland marks the junction of local routes near the boundary of Colquitt, Worth, and Tift counties.

The terrain is defined by the swampy lowlands of Warrior Creek and its various tributaries, including Tucker Branch and Indian Bear Creek. This rural environment is dotted with numerous small country churches and burial grounds essential for genealogical research, such as Pauls Cem, Rocky Creek Ch, and Deep Bottom Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the 1970s land use, showing the distribution of woodlots, ponds like Willis Lake, and isolated landmarks including a Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower.
