2020 Map of Cordele

About this map

Cordele serves as the focal point of this Crisp County survey, displaying a dense grid of residential and commercial avenues centered on the Crisp County Courthouse. The landscape is defined by its transition from the urban center to the surrounding agricultural and timber lands, with Wenona and Raines marking the outlying settlements. Water is a significant geographic feature, with Gum Creek and Williams Lake providing drainage to the north, while Cedar Creek and Gully Creek wind through the southern and western reaches. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Evergreen Memorial Gardens and Sunnyside Cemetery within the city limits to smaller rural sites like Ebenezer Cemetery and Whitsett Cemetery. The presence of the Crisp County-Cordele Airport and Crisp Academy highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this regional Georgia hub.
