About this map

Poplar Hill sits at the northern edge of this south-central Georgia landscape, where the boundary between Dodge and Telfair counties follows the local road network. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Alligator Creek and its tributary Little Alligator Cr, which wind through the southern half of the quadrangle. These wetlands are punctuated by small bodies of water like Garrison Lake and Davis Pond.

Evidence of long-standing rural settlement is found in several family-named burial grounds, including Studstill Cem near Cat Cr and Rockwell Cem to the east. The name Cooks-Still itself hints at the region's agricultural or industrial past, possibly related to turpentine or timber operations common to the Georgia wiregrass region. The map captures a transition from high-ground ridges, where roads like Temperance Rd follow the topography, to the low-lying basins of Horse Cr and its branches.
