2017 Map of Tifton East

About this map

Tifton serves as the primary urban hub in this South Georgia landscape, where the street grid of its eastern outskirts gives way to a complex network of agricultural lands and wetlands. The drainage of the New River and Gum Cr dominates the central terrain, feeding into numerous named water bodies like Mullis Ponds and Bakers Pond. This 2017 survey highlights the transition from the city's infrastructure, including the Henry Tift Myers Airport, to rural settlements like Vanceville and Brookfield. To the east, the Alapaha River forms a natural boundary, winding through a series of oxbow lakes such as Deserter Lake and Hurricane Lake. The map provides a detailed view of the regional road system and family-named landmarks like Lawrence Cem, which are essential for understanding the local genealogical and land-use history of Tift County during this period.
