About this map

The town of Baxley serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, anchored by the Appling County Courthouse. The surrounding territory is defined by a network of rural routes named for prominent local families, including Hilton Baxley Rd, Ben Carter Rd, and Bud Craven Rd. These family names are echoed in several historic burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Sellers Cem, Carter Cem, and the Old Field Cem.

Water plays a significant role in the local geography, with the meandering courses of Tenmile Cr and Little Tenmile Cr carving through the terrain. To the north, the small settlement of Spring Branch marks a point of historical interest. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the open agricultural and timber lands drained by Miles Lake.
