About this map

Tifton serves as the focal point for this survey of south-central Georgia, where the expansion of residential and industrial sectors meets the traditional agricultural landscape. The eastern outskirts of the city transition into a region defined by complex drainage systems, including the New River and its various tributaries such as Gum Creek and Cypress Creek. To the east, the small communities of Vanceville and Brookfield sit along the main transportation corridor, reflecting the area's rural settlement pattern.

A distinct cluster of lakes and ponds, including Ferry Lake, Stone Lake, and Bakers Pond, characterizes the terrain between the Tift and Berrien county lines. Notable landmarks such as the Henry Tift Myers Airport and the Tift Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum mark the city's edge, while smaller local features like the Lawrence Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists tracing local family roots. The map also captures the wetland fringes of the Alapaha River along the northeastern boundary, near Deserter Lake.
