1971 Map of Statenville

About this map

Statenville stands as the primary seat of activity on the eastern bank of the winding Alapaha River during the early 1970s. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the landscape where the Lowndes Co Echols Co line divides the dense woodlands and agricultural clearings. The distribution of spiritual and community centers is evident through several landmark structures, including Wrights Chapel, Sardis Ch, and Bethel Ch. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Carter Cem and an additional Cem tucked away in the rural reaches of Echols County. The terrain is defined by the heavy meanders of the river and its smaller tributaries, such as the Branch, which cut through the varied vegetation patterns of this southern Georgia borderland.
