1971 Map of Soperton South

About this map

Seaboard Coast Line rail tracks bisect this Georgia landscape, connecting the rural communities of Soperton and Tarrytown during the early 1970s. The survey captures the border between Treutlen and Montgomery counties, a region defined by an intricate network of waterways including Little Tiger Creek, Swift Creek, and Cypress Creek. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, with numerous family-named landmarks like Love Cem, Braddy Cem, and Hamilton Hill Cem scattered across the pine-dotted terrain. Social life centers on local congregations and education, evidenced by Simons Chapel, Mt Olive Ch, and a High Sch located near the northern edge of the map. The topography is marked by gentle slopes leading toward swampy bottomlands such as Boggy Branch and Water Prong, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local development and road placement.
