The county from the air
16 shownFlown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 488 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 16 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

| January 2017 | Tornado (EF2) | Double Run | $300,000 | A National Weather Service survey team found that the large tornado that moved across Dougherty and Turner Counties moved into Wilcox County crossing County Line Road just west of Shady Lane. Damage was seen off Double Run Road and County Road 41 where a small farm building was completely destroyed. Windows were broken at two residences and several small trees were uprooted. Just northeast, significant damage occurred along Crawford Dairy Road between July Road and Loblolly Road. A metal structure was significantly damaged with the several anchored metal trusses completely pulled off the concrete foundation, resulting in a total collapse of the building. Additional farm outbuildings and barns around the property were severely damaged, and hundreds of pines were snapped or uprooted. Farther along Crawford Dairy Road, just before SR 233, several large, wooden, electrical transmission towers were snapped (near the base) or leaning. The width of the tornado around this location is estimated to be at least one half mile. Along American Legion Road, between Bayberry Lane and Elderberry Lane, a large semi-trailer was flattened and moved across a road. The southeast corner of a metal structure was completely destroyed with deep concrete footings ripped out of the ground. Numerous large trees were snapped as well around this location and a small home nearby sustained minor roof and siding damage. Further northeast along Willingham road, trees were snapped or uprooted. As the tornado went over Mount Olive Road, just south of Highway 280, several manufactured homes were completely destroyed with debris moved 50 to 100 yards away from the original foundations. Based on this damage, the tornado is believed to have briefly strengthened to around 135 MPH. A large house just up the hill from this location sustained minor roof damage. The tornado crossed Highway 280 leveling numerous trees and destroying several small wooden sheds and barns. From this point on, the tornado weakened considerably, with only some trees snapped or uprooted along Kingfisher Road, just west of Abbeville where the damage ended.
