About this map

Berlin and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Colquitt, Cook, and Brooks Counties are defined by a network of creeks and rural roads that have guided local movement for generations. The meandering path of the Little River serves as a natural boundary between counties, crossed by landmarks such as Burney Bridge. The terrain is punctuated by small water bodies like Alderman Pond and Cardin Lake, while significant drainages including Okapilco Cr and Slaughter Cr feed the local watershed.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites like Antioch Cem near the Cook County line and Strickland Cem further south. Small settlements like Barney and New Rock Hill highlight the dispersed nature of this South Georgia community. The map preserves many family-named thoroughfares, including Arthur Tillman Rd and Rufus Merritt Rd, which trace the property lines and farmsteads of the region.
