2020 Map of Alapaha

About this map

Alapaha sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the Alapaha River bends through the South Georgia coastal plain. This 2020 survey records a rural geography defined by its cemeteries and family-named landmarks, many tied to small community centers like Gladys. The terrain is etched by drainage systems including Little Brushy Cr, Mill Creek, and Reedy Cr, which feed into the primary river corridor. Genealogy and local history researchers will find a high density of burial sites distributed across the area, from Gopher Hill Cem and Springhill Cem to the grounds of Bethlehem Church and Mount Paron Church. The map also details numerous country roads, such as Wycliff Roberts Rd and Obie Griffin Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small agricultural tracts characteristic of this part of Berrien County.
