About this map

Ambrose and Wray anchor this agricultural landscape in Coffee and Irwin counties, where the boundary line follows the Irwin Co Coffee Co border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainages including the Satilla River, Seventeen Mile River, and numerous smaller branches like Sand Hill Br and Bee Gum Br. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the rural landscape, including New Hope Cem, Satilla Cem, and Paulk Cem, often located near crossroads or historical homesteads.

The region's water management is evident in the many named impoundments such as Mcwhorter Lake, Evans Lake, and Smith Lake. These water bodies, along with the meandering course of Satilla Cr and Reedy Cr, illustrate the low-lying nature of the Georgia coastal plain. Transportation is primarily centered on the Douglas Hwy and Hwy 32, which cut through the farm and timber lands that characterize the area's development.
