2020 Map of Colemans Lake

About this map

The Ogeechee River carves a swampy path through this rural landscape at the intersection of Burke, Jefferson, and Emanuel counties. The settlement of Midville occupies the eastern edge, supported by the Midville International Airport, while smaller communities like Gertrude and Summertown anchor the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and complex water systems, including Williamson Swamp Cr, Colemans Lake, and numerous spring-fed creeks. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Lambs Chapel Cem, Greens Cem, and Corinth Cem, are scattered along secondary routes like Wadley Coleman Lake Rd and Old Savannah Rd, providing vital landmarks for genealogical research. Distinctive natural features like Sandy Hook, Seven Cypresses, and Franklins Bluff overlook the river valley, illustrating the localized geography of the Georgia coastal plain.
