About this map

The county line between Appling Co and Bacon Co divides this rural landscape, characterized by a series of family cemeteries and country churches. The geography is defined by the winding course of Sweetwater Creek and Black Water Creek, which drain into the Big Satilla Creek at the southern edge of the sheet. Significant local landmarks include the Odum Childrens Home and Millers Airport, alongside several ecclesiastical sites such as Pineview Ch, Mt Vernon Ch, and Cook Chapel. The Southern railroad line cuts through the northeastern corner, providing a vital transport link for this agricultural region during the early 1970s. Numerous burial grounds, including the Old Pleasant Grove Cem and Beckworth Cem, offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories in this part of Georgia.
