About this map

Alapaha serves as the primary hub in this Georgia landscape, situated at the junction where the Alapaha River begins its winding course southward. The surrounding rural territory in Berrien County is defined by a dense network of local roads named for families and landmarks, such as Sam Fuller Rd, Eddie Tucker Rd, and Deberry Store Rd. These routes connect dispersed settlements like Gladys and provide access to numerous small community burial grounds that dot the landscape.

Several tributaries, including Mill Creek and Reedy Creek, feed into the larger river systems that define the county boundaries. Notable landmarks for local researchers include Tucker Lake and a series of historic cemeteries, including Gopher Hill Cem and Mt Paron Cem. The map illustrates a settled agricultural region where the geography is deeply intertwined with the Willacoochee River and its various creek branches.
