About this map

The small community of Reese and the surrounding farmland of Warren County are defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and local waterways. The map documents numerous burial sites that serve as a genealogical record for the region, including Abbott Cem, Norris Cem, and the Reese-Norris Cem. Further south, the landscape around Harts and Bastonville is crisscrossed by several prominent streams such as McLean Cr and Gin Br, which eventually feed into Rocky Comfort Creek.

Transport and land use patterns reflect the agricultural character of eastern Georgia, with named routes like Quaker RD and Little Brier Creek Church RD connecting these dispersed rural settlements. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Reese Lake and Blankenship Pond, illustrating the importance of local water resources to the area's homesteads. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of how these historic family names—recorded at sites like Newsome Cem and Gracy Hobbs Cem—remain physically anchored to the Georgia countryside.
