1972 Map of Tenmile Bay

About this map

Tenmile Bay and Tiger Bay dominate this low-lying landscape in Georgia during the early 1970s. This interior portion of Berrien County is characterized by significant wetlands and experiment stations, most notably the Alapaha Experimental Range Ga Coastal Plain Experimental Sta in the northwest. Local life and commerce center around the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which passes through the small settlement of Glory in the northeast. The winding Alapaha River carves a path through the eastern half of the quadrangle, flanked by multiple drainage systems including Tenmile Creek and Fivemile Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Rowe Town Ch and several small Cem sites, along with landmarks like the Lookout Tower overlooking the wooded terrain. The map captures a transition point in Georgia's agricultural and forestry research history within the coastal plain.
