1977 Map of Queensland

About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves the northeastern boundary of this 1970s landscape, where the borders of Ben Hill, Wilcox, and Telfair counties converge. This interior Georgia terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Otter Creek, House Creek, and Deaden Branch, supporting local industry and land use. The presence of Bowens Mill and the State Fish Hatchery near the center of the sheet highlights the historical importance of these water resources. Rural life is anchored by several country churches and burial grounds, such as Evergreen Ch, Dorminy Mill Ch, and the Dixon Cem. An Old Railroad Grade cuts diagonally across the northwest, tracing a vanished transportation corridor through the wooded areas near Queensland. A prominent Lookout Tower and Radio Tower further mark the local skyline, serving as key navigational points for researchers studying the mid-twentieth-century development of the region.
