About this map

Douglas serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, where the northern city limits meet the winding course of Twenty Mile Cr. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater streams and wetlands, including the Seventeen Mile River and Big Br, which snake through the lowlands east of the city. Smaller settlements like Huffer and Lotts mark the transition from the growing urban edge into the rural timber and agricultural lands of Coffee County.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds such as Old Wayfare Cem and Lone Hill Cem, which are scattered along a spiderweb of rural routes like Co Rd 594 and New Forest Hwy. The map details the proximity of community landmarks like the Douglas City Cem and Ward Cem to the residential streets of the northern city, while recreational spots like Hinson Lake and Lott Lake highlight the area's reliance on these managed water bodies.
