1974 Map of Tempy

About this map

Tempy and Powelltown anchor this rural landscape in Worth County, which is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Ochlockonee River. The 1974 survey, later updated in 1988, illustrates a landscape of agricultural tradition and dispersed community centers. Local history is preserved in the numerous country churches and burial grounds that dot the terrain, such as Beulah Ch and New Bethel Cem. The drainage patterns of Horse Creek and Warrior Creek have clearly influenced the placement of these settlements and connecting roads. A notable landmark, the Lookout Tower, stands near the southern edge of the map, while a Sandpit near Oak Grove Ch points to local extractive activity. The map provides a high-resolution record of rural land use, showing field boundaries and woodland tracts that characterize this portion of South Georgia.
