About this map

The Wilcox County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Abbeville, the seat of a landscape defined by the winding Ocmulgee River and its varied water features. To the south, the terrain descends into a network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies such as Gator Slide, Buzzard Roost, and Slate Hole. This 2024 survey captures the rural character of the region, where family history is etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds including Reid Hill Cem, Siloam Cem, and Keen Cem.

Along the eastern border, the Ocmulgee River creates a natural boundary at Statham Shoals, where the Boat Ramp Statham-Shoals provides access to the river. The map illustrates a transition from the structured streets of the county seat to the sprawling agricultural and swampy tracts near Cypress Pond and Haw Pond, tracing the local reliance on the river and the road network connecting the outlying communities of Statham Shoals and Browning.
