About this map

The city of Cordele serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, illustrating a dense grid of streets punctuated by the Cordele Post Office and multiple burial grounds such as Sunnyside Cemetery and Westview Cemetery. The surrounding countryside reveals an economy historically tied to water and milling, with Byrds Mill and Slades Mill situated along the winding paths of Cedar Creek.

Transport and utility infrastructure are prominent, from the Crisp County-Cordele Airport in the northeast to the Cordele Fish Hatchery near Williams Lake. Small rural communities and sidings like Wenona and Raines provide critical orientation for genealogists tracing family roots in Crisp County. The mapping of Gum Creek and various millponds like Rays Millpond underscores the importance of local hydrology to the area's development and land use patterns during this era.
