2011 Map of Ambrose

About this map

Ambrose and Wray anchor this agricultural landscape in Coffee County, where a network of family-named roads and rural burial grounds defines the local geography. The area is heavily marked by small-scale water management, featuring a dense concentration of private impoundments such as Mcwhorter Lake, Evans Lake, and the series of Paulk-named features including Paulk Lake North and Paulk Lake South. These man-made lakes are fed by a complex drainage system of creeks and branches, notably Wiggins Creek, Satilla Creek, and Bens Branch, which eventually feed into larger arteries like the Seventeen Mile River. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating scattered rural interments at sites like the Satilla Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Mount Union Cemetery, which reflect the generations of families who have farmed this portion of Georgia.
