About this map

The Ohoopee River and Little Ohoopee River converge within this landscape, defining the boundary between Emanuel and Treutlen counties. Small rural settlements like Covena and Gillis Springs are connected by a network of winding roads, including Gillis Springs Rd and Holton Chapel Rd, which navigate the many river bends and swampy lowlands. Notable terrain features such as Horseshoe Bend and Ohoopee Bend emphasize the meandering nature of these waterways.

Local family history is centered around several namesake cemeteries, such as Wilkes Cem, Herrington Cem, and Brinson Cem. The area near Five Points shows a shift toward more modern transit corridors, yet the map remains dominated by natural water features like Wildwood Lake, Courson Pond, and Sumner Pond. This 2020 record reflects a region where traditional landholdings and small-scale water bodies continue to shape the community's structure.
