1971 Map of Ritch

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Little Satilla River winds through this coastal plain landscape, defining a terrain of wetlands and slow-moving drainages in Wayne County. By the early 1970s, this area centered around Ritch was characterized by a dense network of small rural churches and family cemeteries, suggesting a long-standing community structure. Significant water features such as Boggy Creek, Dry Creek, and Lake Lindsay Grace dominate the topography, while land use is punctuated by a notable Sandpit and scattered agricultural clearings. Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the various burial grounds and houses of worship, including Old Bethel Ch, Wesley Ch, and Old Ritch Cem. The map illustrates a quiet, inland Georgia economy shaped by the watercourses of Reedy Creek and Colemans Creek during a period of steady rural character.
