About this map

Quitman serves as the focal point of this Brooks County survey, where the convergence of the CSX and the Live Oak Perry and South Georgia RR defines the town's industrial and transportation layout. The map documents a classic South Georgia landscape, characterized by the winding path of Okapilco Creek and its many tributaries, including Possum Branch and Coon Creek. Evidence of civic and social life is concentrated in the town center, featuring the Court House, Post Office, and Armory.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from established burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem and North End Cem to rural churches such as Bethany Ch and Red Hill Ch. The presence of the County High Sch and County Jr High Sch highlights the educational infrastructure of the mid-1970s, while the Quitman-Brooks County Airport and the Quitman Country Club on the southern edge show the community's outward expansion.
