About this map

Lake Blackshear dominates this mid-1970s landscape, serving as a focal point for recreation and a natural boundary between Sumter, Crisp, and Lee Counties. The Flint River flows into the reservoir, where the Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park offers developed facilities including a campground and a water tank near the shoreline. The settlement of Cobb is situated to the west, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad crosses the terrain toward the river.

Rural community life is evident through numerous local churches and cemeteries that dot the countryside, such as New Zion Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Springhill Cem. The topography is marked by several water bodies and industrial sites, including Spring Creek, Chokee Creek, and scattered claypits. These features illustrate a classic South Georgia mix of agricultural land, river-driven recreation, and small-town infrastructure.
