2014 Map of Colemans Lake

About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through this rural landscape at the junction of Jefferson, Burke, and Emanuel counties, marking a terrain defined by bottomland swamps and small upland settlements. Around Colemans Lake and the area of Seven Cypresses, the land falls away from the sandy ridges toward the river basin, where Franklins Bluff stands as a notable landmark near Midville. The map reveals a pattern of scattered homesteads and small communities like Cunningham Corner, Gertrude, and Summertown, many of which are anchored by family-named cemeteries.
