About this map

The agricultural and industrial transition of eastern Tifton is captured in this mid-1970s survey, updated with late-1980s data. The city’s eastward expansion is visible near Tift General Hospital and Henry Tift Myers Airport, while the surrounding Tift County landscape remains defined by its complex hydrology. The Little River and New River drain the terrain, which is dotted with numerous private ponds and natural basins like Bakers Pond and Marys Pond.

Tracing the rural road networks reveals established community hubs at Vanceville and Brookfield, each anchored by local landmarks such as Lawrence Cem and Corinth Ch. The presence of the Fairgrounds and Tift Memorial Gardens signifies the area's development as a regional center. Notable infrastructure includes the Railroad corridors and the Industrial Waste Pond, reflecting the mixed economic base of this South Georgia territory.
