About this map

Big Satilla Creek meanders through this portion of Appling County, defining a landscape of wetlands and managed water features. The area is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Corinth Cemetery, Altman Cemetery, and Miles Chapel Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogy. This 2011 survey reveals a rural infrastructure dependent on water management, evidenced by the Bishop Creek Structure Number Six Dam and Tanner Lake Dam.

Transportation in the region centers around the Baxley Municipal Airport and a network of named local roads such as County Farm Rd and Dyal School Rd. The map details the transition from traditional creek-side land use to modern facilities like the Bar-O-Ranch Lake, illustrating how the agricultural and residential patterns of this Georgia corridor have evolved while maintaining their historical cemetery sites.
