About this map

The agrarian landscape of South Georgia's coastal plain unfolds across the tri-county boundary where Colquitt, Thomas, and Brooks counties meet. The town of Berlin anchors the eastern edge of the survey, while the small community of Ione is located in the southwestern quadrant. This era of rural development is defined by a dense network of county roads and family-named landmarks that trace the local genealogy of the region.

Wetlands and drainage systems form the primary topographical character, with Okapilco Cr and Little Cr winding through the center. Historic community hubs are marked by religious and burial sites, including Hopewell Ch and its associated Hopewell Cem to the north, and Prosperity Cem near Ione. Residential developments like Tallokas Est and the named area of Chinaberry appear alongside numerous water bodies such as Indian Cr and Hog Cr, illustrating the relationship between the region's low-lying hydrology and its settlement patterns.
