2011 Map of Altamaha SW

About this map

Zion and McTier anchor a rural landscape in southern Georgia defined by a dense network of family-named roads and drainage systems. The terrain is marked by the southward flow of Tenmile Creek, Alisons Creek, and the Little Satilla Creek, which transition from seasonal wetlands to more defined water bodies like Eason Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several small burial grounds, including Easons Cemetery, Joyner Cemetery, and Davis Cemetery, often tucked away near the intersections of legacy routes like Fire Tower Rd and Old Surrency Rd. The presence of the Tenmile Lookout Tower in the northwest corner highlights the importance of timber management and fire observation in this forested region of Appling County during the early 21st century.
