1975 Map of Tarboro

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Tarboro and its surrounding wetlands define this coastal Georgia landscape during the mid-1970s. The settlement is centered near a cluster of community landmarks, including Clinchs Chapel and Brown Chapel, while the local topography is dominated by the vast drainage systems of White Oak Creek and Waverly Swamp. A notable piece of transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the terrain, marking a former corridor through the lowlands. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of family-named sites such as Harrell Cem and Bickley Chapel Cem. The map also documents the proximity to Kings Bay, with the interior landscape characterized by numerous flowing wells and the expansive Redcap Swamp. This survey provides a precise record of the rural infrastructure before late-century development, including a Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower positioned for forest surveillance.
