About this map

Boston serves as the primary municipal hub in this South Georgia landscape, where the local street grid intersects near the Boston City Cem. The surrounding Thomas County countryside is defined by a intricate network of family-named roads and scattered burial grounds, including the Antioch Cem and Bethlehem Cem, which provide significant anchor points for genealogical research. The natural hydrology of the region is prominent, characterized by the winding path of the Aucilla River and various tributaries like Piscola Cr and Masse Br.

A unique geologic feature, the Howell Sinks, illustrates the karst topography prevalent in this part of the coastal plain. Transport patterns are dominated by the rail corridor and major thoroughfares like Sally Rd, which pass through the settlement of Eason. Numerous small impoundments such as Massey Ferguson Pond and Wildlife Pond dot the terrain, reflecting the agricultural and land-management practices of the modern era.
