About this map

Low-lying woodlands and swampy creek bottoms define this portion of Bacon County, Georgia, where the winding Big Satilla Cr serves as a natural boundary between Appling and Bacon counties. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Fishfish Cr, Fishing Cr, and Briar Cr, which feed into the larger river basin. Settlement is centered around the small community of Coffee and the nearby New Lacy, connected by a rural road system that includes the Scuffletown Hwy.

Genealogical interest is high in this quadrangle due to the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural congregations. Places of worship and burial, such as Wesley Chapel Church and its associated Wesley Chapel Cem, along with Carters Chapel Ch and Damascus Cem, provide vital points for tracing local family history. The presence of Lee Lake and several smaller unnamed ponds illustrates the hydrologic nature of the South Georgia flatwoods during this era.
