About this map

Midway and its surroundings in Liberty County are defined by a network of low-lying waterways and historical road alignments. This coastal Georgia landscape is shaped by the tidal reaches of the Jerico River and Gress River, with drainage provided by the branching systems of Cay Creek, Porter Creek, and Peacock Creek. The settlement pattern follows established corridors like the Riceboro and Sunbury Rd, connecting smaller communities such as Dorchester and Limerick.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate the Midway Cemetery near the Midway Post Office, while the more secluded Thabes Cemetery lies further west along the reaches of Peacock Creek. The map documents the water management infrastructure of the area, including the Upper Lake George Dam and Trophy Lake Dam, which create significant impoundments amidst the coastal wetlands and forested tracts near Screven Fork.
