1973 Map of Pretoria

About this map

Pretoria and the surrounding Dougherty County landscape are defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins in the early 1970s. The Central of Georgia railroad line cuts a straight path across the terrain, serving the small community of Walker and connecting the rural interior to broader markets. The geography is characterized by numerous slow-moving water bodies such as Kiokee Creek, Cooleewahee Creek, and Mud Creek, which are surrounded by extensive marshlands and topographic depressions like Percosin Creek.
