About this map

Warrior Creek and Horse Creek carve a dendritic drainage pattern across this section of Worth County, defining a landscape of agriculture and timber production in the mid-1970s. The small settlement of Tempy serves as a central point, surrounded by family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure including the Willis Cemetery and Thornhill Cemetery. The presence of the Oak Grove Ch Sandpit indicates local extractive industry, while the Georgia Northern railroad provides a vital transportation corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle.

Rural social life is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Beulah Ch and Zion Grove Ch, which often served as the primary gathering points for these dispersed communities. Topographic details reveal the transition from upland ridges to the low-lying basin of the Ochlockonee River in the southwest, where the terrain becomes increasingly intricate near Thicket Creek and Tiger Creek.
