1943 Map of Rocky Ford
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Ogeechee River carves a wide swampy path through this 1943 survey, acting as a natural boundary between Jenkins, Screven, and Bulloch counties. At its center, the town of Rocky Ford serves as a critical junction for the Central of Georgia Railroad, which parallels the river's southern bank. The landscape is dotted with small-scale agricultural and industrial sites, including Mallards Mill near Mallards Pond and De Loach Mill to the southwest. This era shows a high density of rural social centers, specifically indicated by named school-church combinations like Free Chapel Sch and Little Horse Creek Sch. Inland from the river, the terrain is defined by a network of creeks such as Canoochee Creek and Lott Creek, supporting small settlements like Woodcliff and Portal. The mapping captures a moment before modern consolidation, where local commerce was centered on spots like Finches Store and rail stops at Kites Spur.
