It turns out the clue is on the 2006 maps, too, but less obvious.

Stay tuned for that connection.

To interpret these sheets, it is useful to know that Prospect Drive is what appears on googlemaps as Fritzke Drive. Aviagen’s chicken incubation plant is south of Prospect Drive, east of GA 333.

Also note all these maps (after the cover sheet) are oriented with north to the left.

Meanwhile, these sheets include plans for Brooks Co. Ind. Park Lift Station No. 1 at the north corner of the Georgia-Florida Railroad and GA 333.

But I don’t see any plans for the apparently nonexistant Brooks Co. Ind. Park Lift Station No. 2 at the north corner of Gateway Drive and GA 333.

Thanks to Stephanie Williams, Executive Director of the Brooks County Industrial Authority, for these map sheets.

I’m going back tomorrow to see what else she’s got in those rolled-up maps in those metal trash cans.

The entire Brooks County Industrial Park drains into Piscola Creek, which joins Okapilco Creek just before it reaches the Withlacoochee River.
