About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, serving as a natural border between Wilcox and Dodge counties. To the south, the city of Abbeville sits near the river's edge, where Town Creek and the notable Poor Robin Spring meet the larger waterway. The terrain is characterized by a series of low-lying wetlands and springs, including Rocky Spring and Burnham Bay, contrasted by the elevated Phelps Bluff overlooking the river valley.

Local history is preserved in the scattered rural settlements and family burial grounds that dot the countryside. Researchers can find Bowen Cemetery near the community of Union in the northeast, while Cannonville Cemetery and Mitchell Cemetery are located further west along the historical road networks of Cannonville Road and Harvey Road. Smaller water bodies like Harrell Pond and Daniels Millpond indicate the long-standing importance of water management for local agriculture and industry in this part of Georgia.
