1978 Map of Pebble Hill

About this map

Pebble Hill and the surrounding Brooks County countryside are defined by a dense network of local landmarks and watercourses in the late 1970s. The landscape is notably punctuated by numerous small churches and family-linked sites, such as Salem Ch, Morrison Ch, and St James Cem. These points of assembly suggest a dispersed rural community structured around local congregations. Transportation history is deeply etched into the terrain, visible in the Old Coffee Road and the path of the South Georgia and Florida RR. The area’s hydrology is equally complex, featuring several named bodies of water including Brice Pond, Johnson Pond, and the winding Okapilco Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower near Kennedy Hill further highlights the mix of agricultural utility and regional infrastructure that characterized this part of South Georgia during the era.
