About this map

The town of Rebecca serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s landscape, positioned where the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad cuts through the southwest. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Alapaha River and its many tributaries, including Double Run Creek and Young Creek. This survey captures the rural character of south-central Georgia, specifically at the meeting points of five different counties, including Wilcox and Turner.

Researchers will find a high concentration of community landmarks, particularly country churches like New Providence Ch and Salem Ch, and family-named cemeteries such as Taylor Cem and Gibbs Cem. The presence of the Nasworthy Airstrip and Piney Woods Lake indicates the land use patterns of the era, while the small settlement of Arp at the southern edge highlights the scattered nature of rural development in this river-and-rail corridor.
