1978 Map of Tarboro

About this map

Tarboro and its surrounding wetlands occupy this 1970s landscape on the boundary of Brantley Co and Camden Co. The terrain is defined by a series of low-lying swamp systems, including Redcap Swamp, Waverly Swamp, and White Oak Swamp, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Evidence of former industrial activity is seen in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the center of the sheet, while more modern aviation is represented by a small Landing Strip. Local genealogy and community life are well-documented through several country churches such as Providence Ch, Brown Chapel, and Clinchs Chapel, along with the family-named Harrell Cem and Bickley Chapel Cem. This survey illustrates a quiet rural corner of Georgia where transportation routes and small settlements navigate the natural constraints of the coastal plain's water systems.
