2014 Map of Draneville

About this map

Draneville and Friendship are the primary hubs of activity in this rural stretch of southwest Georgia, where the boundaries of Schley, Marion, Sumter, and Webster counties converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Muckalee Cr, Choctahatchee Cr, and Lannahassee Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the path of local roads. Historic landmarks such as the Ira Kelly Bridge and the Frasier Smith Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in this region. The settlement at Concord further highlights the distributed nature of this agricultural community. This map illustrates the persistence of small rural settlements and the vital role of local drainages like Shaver Br and Deer Cr in shaping the development of the Georgia coastal plain.
