2017 Map of Waterloo

About this map

The Alapaha River corridor and its surrounding wetlands define the rural landscape of Irwin and Tift Counties in southern Georgia. This 2017 survey details the dispersed communities of Waterloo, Harding, and Brighton, highlighting the historical significance of family and community burial sites like Waterloo Cem, Eureka Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Tifton Fishing Club Lake, Adcock-Morris Lake, and Shikel Lake, which speak to the region's importance for local recreation and environmental drainage. Local movement is tied to a grid of county roads and highways such as the Waterloo Rebecca Hwy and Chula Brookfield Rd, connecting these small agricultural outposts through a terrain of creeks like Sand Creek and Hat Cr.
