2020 Map of Douglas North

About this map

Douglas serves as the focal point of this South Georgia survey, centered on the Coffee County Courthouse and the surrounding street grid. The landscape to the north is defined by a network of slow-moving waterways, including the Seventeen Mile River and Twenty Mile Cr, which drain through a mosaic of rural land. Small settlements like Lotts and Huffer provide insight into the scattered community structure of the region, where life is historically tied to the land and the local rail and road corridors. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds identified throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large City Cem in the heart of town to more isolated locations such as Old Wayfare Cem, Lone Hill Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Higgs Lake and Hinson Lake, reflect the enduring agrarian and civic foundations of Coffee County.
