About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Telfair and Ben Hill counties. This riverine environment is defined by distinct elevations along the banks, including Yellow Bluff, Gilder Bluff, and Red Bluff. The settlement of China Hill sits at a junction of roads in the northern portion of the quadrangle, surrounded by a network of creeks such as Boney Creek and Johnson Creek.

Tracing local lineage is aided by several recorded burial sites, including Bethel Cem near the community center and Black House Cem to the east. The map also preserves the location of Lampkins Old Field Ferry on the river, a reminder of the historical importance of river crossings before modern bridges. To the south, the Jacksonville Hwy cuts through the terrain near Dorminy Lake and Dorminey Cem, providing a look at the early 21st-century rural infrastructure and water management in this part of Georgia.
