2024 Map of Blackshear West

About this map

Blackshear serves as the focal point of this modern topographic survey, positioned near the junction of agricultural lands and the riverine corridors of southeastern Georgia. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Satilla River to the southwest and the Alabaha River in the northeast, which create a naturally bounded territory of wetlands and timber. The map reveal a deep-seated community history through its numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship, including Rehobeth Baptist Church Cem and Youmans Chapel. The settlement patterns around Homestead and Deenwood show a network of rural routes like Peacock Dairy Rd and Big House Rd that connect isolated farmsteads to the municipal center. Smaller waterways such as Hacklebarney Creek and Kettle Creek drain the low-lying terrain, illustrating the hydrological challenges and opportunities of this coastal plain region.
