1978 Map of Pavo

About this map

The Georgia-Florida borderlands of Brooks and Thomas Counties are defined by a network of rural churches and agricultural homesteads centered around the town of Pavo. The landscape is etched with the historic Old Coffee Road, an early 19th-century pioneer trail that cuts diagonally through the southern half of the quadrangle. This thoroughfare connects local landmarks like Harmony Ch and the settlement of Barwick, reflecting the area's long-standing importance in regional transit. The terrain is marked by distinctive hydrological features including Lake Nichols and Pope Millpond, while numerous family and community burial grounds like Lebanon Cem and Oak Grove Cem offer significant touchstones for local genealogical research. In the late 1970s, the GEORGIA NORTHERN railroad line remained a vital artery, threading through Hollis and connecting these small agricultural communities to larger markets.
