1974 Map of Red Store Crossroads

About this map

Cooleewahee Creek dominates the center of this rural landscape, carving a wide swampy path through southwest Georgia in the mid-1970s. This survey captures a moment when the region was characterized by scattered homesteads and significant water features, from large basins like Halls Pond and Long Pond to smaller named landmarks such as Alligator Pond and Windmill Pond. The settlement pattern centers on the namesake Red Store Crossroads, with the nearby Chapel Hill Ch and several family-named burial grounds like Whitehill Cem, Tarva Cem, and Trinity Cem providing essential markers for genealogical research. Aviation history is noted by the Brent-Young Landing Strip, while the Dougherty Co Baker Co boundary bisects the varied terrain of the Piney Woods Branch and Reynolds Swamp.
