About this map

Andersonville National Historic Site dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, preserving the location of the Civil War-era military prison. The site is anchored by the Andersonville National Cem and the smaller Andersonville Cem, reflecting the area's somber historical legacy. Beyond the historic site, the rural character of Sumter and Schley counties is defined by scattered settlements like La Crosse and Bumphead, connected by an intricate network of local routes such as Englishville Rd and Old Andersonville Rd.

Water features like Sweetwater Cr and Angelica Cr thread through the terrain, occasionally pooled into family-named landmarks including Wohlwender Lake and Tharpe Lake. The presence of Sweetwater Mineral Springs and the suggestive name of Prison Br further tie the modern geography to its deep historical roots, offering researchers a detailed look at the physical layout of this commemorative landscape.
