About this map

Bickley and Beach serve as the primary landmarks in this South Georgia landscape, where the borders of Coffee, Bacon, and Ware counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways, including the winding Hurricane Cr and its tributary, Little Hurricane Cr, alongside Cane Cr and Mushy Cr. These wetlands dictate the rural road patterns, with routes like Bickley Rd and Beach Rd connecting scattered farmsteads and timber tracts across the coastal plain.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved here, including Bagley Cem, Cole Cem, and the Moore and Lee Cem. The map reveals a highly localized infrastructure of family-named roads such as Jim Meeks Rd, Bunyon Lee Rd, and Joel Tanner Rd, suggesting deep-rooted ancestral ties to these specific land parcels. The prevalence of named creeks like Hog Cr and Dry Cr underscores the importance of local hydrology in shaping this agrarian community.
