About this map

Satilla River and Kettle Cr define the southwestern drainage of this Pierce County landscape, where the growing residential footprints of Deenwood and Blackshear meet the agricultural traditions of south Georgia. The map documents a transition from the denser street grids of the county seat toward more dispersed rural settlements like Homestead. This area is characterized by a dense network of local roads such as Hacklebarney Rd and Big House Rd that connect isolated homesteads and family farms.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Rehobeth Cem, Sweat Cem, and Ben James Cem. Significant water features like Jordan Lake and the Alabaha River provide a geographic anchor for the region's low-lying terrain. The map also delineates the boundary between Ware and Pierce counties, offering clear documentation of property and political divisions near River Landing Way.
