About this map

The southern edge of Baxley sits at the northern boundary of this landscape, where the town grid gives way to the agricultural and wooded expanses of the coastal plain. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Sweetwater Cr and Black Water Cr, which snake through the lowlands toward the Appling Co and Bacon Co line. In the southern reaches, Big Satilla Cr marks the jurisdictional border amidst a complex series of wetland breaks.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family and community burial grounds dispersed across the rural landscape, such as Old Pleasant Grove Cem, Carter Cem, and Graham Cem. The road network, including routes like Old Blackshear Hwy Rd and Pleasant Grove Church Rd, reveals a settlement pattern that remains tied to these long-standing rural landmarks and watercourses even into the early 21st century.
