1978 Map of Pavo

About this map

The town of Pavo sits at the western edge of this South Georgia landscape, straddling the line between Thomas and Brooks counties in the late 1970s. The settlement pattern here is defined by small agricultural centers and a network of country churches and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted rural community structure. To the south, Barwick anchors the corner of the map near the Georgia Northern rail line, which cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The presence of the Old Coffee Road provides a tangible link to Georgia's early 19th-century pioneer transport routes, still visible as a functional corridor amidst the modern topography. Water dominates the eastern half of the sheet, where Mule Creek and Little Creek meander through lowlands, feeding into managed water bodies like Lake Nichols and Pope Millpond. Genealogists will find a wealth of named sites including Lebanon Cem, Mt Zion Ch Cem, and Okapilco Cem.
