1971 Map of Thelma

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad cuts a straight east-west path through this landscape, connecting the small settlements of Fruitland and Thelma. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and "bays," including Stalvey Bay and Briery Bay, characteristic of the Georgia flatwoods. The winding course of Suwannoochee Creek serves as a primary drainage feature, though its shifting nature is noted by an indefinite boundary label. For local history, the map preserves specific crossing points like Starling Ford and New Ford, alongside family-named landmarks such as Wilkerson Lake and Indian Hammock. This orthophotomap provides an uncommon visual record of vegetation patterns and surface water in the early 1970s, showing the specific way human infrastructure like the rail line and a Jeep Trail navigated the saturated environments of the Clinch and Echols County border.
