About this map

The Alabaha River winds through the heart of this landscape, its floodplains and tributaries like Otter Cr and Brown Br defining the rural geography between the settlements of Blackshear and Owen. The eastern portion of the Blackshear area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Blackshear Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Strickland Cem, providing critical reference points for genealogists and local historians.

South of the main town, the Lakeview Country Club Lake and the nearby Satilla River indicate a shift toward recreational land use and drainage toward the Pierce-Brantley county line. The presence of Walker Mill Pond reflects the historical importance of local water management and milling, while the intricate network of farm-to-market roads like Co Farm Rd and New School Rd illustrates the enduring agricultural framework of the region during the early twenty-first century.
