2017 Map of Blackshear West

About this map

The winding Satilla River defines the southwestern corner of this Pierce County landscape, meeting the waters of Kettle Cr near the settlement of Deenwood. Further north, the Alabaha River and its tributary Baxter Br cut through a terrain marked by small cemeteries and rural junctions. This area shows a pattern of long-established family and community sites, such as Ben James Church and the adjacent Ben James Cem, situated along Ben James Church Rd. Toward the southeast, the residential and commercial outskirts of Blackshear and Homestead appear, revealing the local road network that connects these communities. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including Rehobeth Cem, Nunn Cem, and Sweat Cem, offers significant detail for genealogists tracing historical residency patterns near Jordan Lake.
