1973 Map of Smithville East

About this map

Muckalee Creek dominates the center of this terrain, its wide floodplains carving a north-south path through the Georgia countryside. Near the Sumter and Lee county line, the landscape is defined by its rural heritage, anchored by the town of Smithville. A network of unpaved roads and distinct family landmarks like the Anthony Cem and Deldrich Cem reflect generations of local settlement. The drainage patterns of Boggy Branch and Philema Creek feed into larger systems, while the presence of the Smithville Lookout Tower and a localized Landing Strip indicate the functional infrastructure of the early 1970s.
