1977 Map of Warwick

About this map

Warwick and Oakfield anchor this Southwest Georgia landscape, where the Flint River is transformed by the massive Lake Blackshear. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the 1970s, from the Crisp County Hydro-electric Plant and its adjacent Powerplant Substation to the Radio Facility Substation. Local history is preserved in the network of country churches such as Bethlehem Ch, Port Early Ch, and New Union Ch, while the agricultural and industrial character is seen in landmarks like Davis Mill and an old Mine near Hanna Branch. The Georgia Northern railroad corridor cuts through the terrain, though sections of the line are marked as abandoned by this era. To the south, the St Regis Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower reflect contemporary land management and transportation needs in a region defined by its water and timber resources.
