About this map

Davisboro serves as the primary hub of this 2017 survey, situated at the boundary of Washington and Jefferson Counties in eastern Georgia. The town is defined by its grid of streets such as S Main St and Tatum St, and it is surrounded by a landscape carved by the extensive Williamson Swamp Cr drainage system. To the southeast lies the small settlement of Almira, where the wetlands of the swamp broaden significantly.

The map offers high value for genealogical researchers, documenting several historic burial sites scattered through the rural terrain, including Fulford Cem, Joseys Chapel Cem, and New Hope Cem. The area’s hydrology is equally prominent, featuring a network of namesake branches like Atill Br and Gin Br that feed into larger bodies of water such as Cobb Lake and Smith Lake. This distribution of family-named cemeteries and water features reflects the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of this part of the Georgia coastal plain.
