About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line corridor serves as the primary artery for southern Worth County, anchoring the town of Sumner during the early 1970s. This agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River and its numerous tributaries, including Daniels Creek and Little Ty Ty Creek. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by a high density of rural houses of worship such as New Mt Pleasant Ch, Millers Chapel, and Thompson Grove Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the location of family and community landmarks, from the Old Sumner Cem to the Parker Sch. The inclusion of specific field and fence lines, checked against aerial photography, provides an unusually detailed look at land use patterns and property divisions in the Georgia coastal plain before modern large-scale consolidation shifted the rural character of the region.
