2011 Map of Tifton East

About this map

Vanceville and Brookfield anchor the landscape east of Tifton, Georgia, in an area defined by a complex network of small lakes and agricultural drainage. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the Alapaha River, while the New River and Little Creek carve through the center, feeding numerous named water bodies such as Deserter Lake and Hurricane Lake. The prevalence of small dams—including McAllister Lake Dam and Bakers Pond Dam—illustrates a highly managed hydraulic environment where local landowners have historically controlled water for irrigation or livestock.
