About this map

Old Coffee Road cuts across this Brooks County landscape, providing a physical link to one of Georgia's earliest pioneer thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Okapilco Creek and the presence of numerous small water bodies like Crevasse Pond and Brice Pond. The town of Morven sits on the eastern edge of the survey, where local commerce met the transport corridor of the Live Oak Perry and South Georgia railroad.

A high density of rural community centers is evident through numerous country churches, including Salem Ch, Antioch Ch, and New Macedonia Ch. Near Kennedy Hill, a Lookout Tower and Cem mark a high point in the local topography. The map also records the location of a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, reflecting the technological infrastructure present in the mid-1970s. For genealogists, the proximity of Mt Horeb Cem and Pine View Cem to established settlements like Pebble Hill helps place family histories within the county's physical layout.
