About this map

Satilla River and the Seventeen Mile River define the watery, low-lying landscape of south Georgia at the intersection of Coffee, Atkinson, and Ware counties. Small, established communities like Axson and Millwood anchor the southern portion of the sheet, where residential life centers around long-standing landmarks such as Bennett Cem and White Cem. To the north, the settlement of Stokesville sits near the headwaters of Smut Br, surrounded by a network of rural roads named for local families, including Edgar Rd and Paul Cady Rd.

The terrain is a complex of wetlands and small tributaries like Red Bluff Cr and Blue Br, reflecting a landscape deeply influenced by its hydrology. Large tracts of land between the river systems are punctuated by family-named landmarks like Utah Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists tracking lineage in this rural corridor. The infrastructure, consisting largely of unpaved county roads and tracks, suggests a quiet, timber-and-agricultural economy that has persisted into the modern era.
