About this map

Pateville and the western edge of Arabi define the human landscape of this South Georgia quadrangle, where the borders of Crisp, Worth, and Turner counties converge. The terrain is characterized by the winding courses of Swift Creek and North Branch, which create a complex pattern of wetlands and low-lying woods. This area is notably dense with historical markers of rural community life, featuring numerous small churches and family burial grounds like the Story-Odum Cem.

The presence of the New Hope Sch and several social centers, such as the Community Center and Houston Youth Camp, indicates a well-established network of rural gathering places in the late 1970s. Landmarks like Primrose Bridge and Rattlesnake Ridge provide specific points of reference for those tracing local geography. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional land use meets modern county divisions, evidenced by the prominent boundary lines intersecting the waterways.
