About this map

The Alapaha River and Willacoochee River define the hydraulic character of this South Georgia landscape, winding through a region marked by agricultural drainage and local creek networks. The settlement of Alapaha serves as the primary hub, where several county roads converge near the river's path. Further north, the smaller community of Gladys sits along the road network near Mill Creek.

For those researching family history in Berrien County, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, including Gopher Hill Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Luke Cemetery. The presence of Tucker Lake and its associated Tucker Lake Dam reflects the management of local water resources. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive system of rural routes, such as Bethlehem Church Rd and Springhill Church Rd, which link these dispersed rural landmarks and historic family settlements.
