About this map

Pitts and Seville serve as the primary hubs in this mid-1970s landscape, positioned along the busy Seaboard Coast Line corridor. This rural Georgia region is defined by its transition from the agricultural plains of Crisp County into the creek-carved topography of Wilcox County. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, particularly numerous country churches such as Union Ch, Snow Hill Ch, and New Bethel Ch, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads.

Transport history is visible through the Old Railroad Grade and various jeep trails that crisscross the terrain near the Alapaha River. The area around Pine City and Hatley shows a mix of traditional land use and newer developments, including a Landing Strip and local landmarks like the Town Hall and Water Tank in the heart of Pitts. This survey provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between the river lowlands and the upland settlements during an era of continued agricultural prominence.
