About this map

Denton serves as the focal point of this rural landscape where Jeff Davis, Coffee, and Bacon Counties meet. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably Hurricane Creek and its tributary, Little Hurricane Creek, which carve through the woodland and agricultural fields. To the south, the settlement of Lehigh sits near an extensive area marked by an indefinite boundary, suggesting a landscape of seasonal wetlands or shifting drainage patterns.

Social and community life is anchored by landmarks such as Burkett Ch, Pineview Ch, and the Wilcox Cem, offering valuable data points for those researching family history in the Georgia wiregrass region. The presence of a Landing Field west of Denton and a Sandpit to the north indicates the varied land use of the late 20th century, balancing local aviation and light industry with traditional farming and timber interests along Whitehead Creek and Hog Creek.
