About this map

The Irwin Co Coffee Co boundary runs north-to-south through this South Georgia landscape, where agricultural roads and named creeks define the local geography. The settlement of Ambrose serves as a small hub in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, connected by a network of family-named routes such as Vickers Smith Rd and Curtis Vickers Rd. To the northwest, the community of Wray sits near the upper reaches of Wiggins Creek and Jowers Lake South.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Lax Community Cem, Mount Union Cem, and Satilla Cem. The terrain is characterized by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Seventeen Mile River, featuring prominent water bodies like Paulk Lake North, Evans Lake North, and Mcwhorter Lake. These water sources and branches, such as Sand-Hill Branch and Bee Gum Branch, have long dictated the placement of farms and homesteads throughout Coffee and Irwin counties.
