2024 Map of Blackshear East

About this map

The Pierce County Courthouse stands as the civic anchor of Blackshear, Georgia, in a landscape where the dense street grid of the county seat quickly gives way to the wetlands of the coastal plain. The Alabaha River and the Satilla River wind through the southern and eastern reaches of the area, creating a complex network of drainage that includes Raulerson Swamp and Mud Swamp. This environment has historically dictated the placement of rural settlements and family-named landmarks, as seen in the cluster of small communities and crossroads like Owen and Otter Creek.
