About this map

Little Satilla Creek and its various tributaries, including Alisons Creek and Fivemile Creek, define the low-lying drainage of this Appling County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of rural routes named for local families, such as Maude Lamb Rd, Murphy Rd, and Will Sellers Rd, reflecting deep-rooted land ownership patterns. Small settlements like Zion, Bethel, and McTier are scattered across the terrain, often centered around family-named landmarks or historic burial grounds. Genealogists can find several preserved sites including Joyner Cem, Easons Cem, and the Old Field Cemetery. The northern portion features larger water bodies like Eason Lake, while the southern reaches are marked by the county line shared with Wayne County.
