About this map

The community of Draneville anchors the western side of this landscape, situated at a junction of rural roads including Ebenezer Rd and Mt Carmel Rd. This region where Marion, Schley, Webster, and Sumter counties converge is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with Muckalee Cr and Lannahassee Cr carving through the terrain. Small settlements like Friendship and Concord appear as quiet crossroads, while the Ira Kelly Bridge provides a specific point of reference for crossing the local creeks.

Genealogists will find notable value in several family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Carmel Cem, Frasier-Smith Cem, and Friendship Cem. The topography reveals a complex drainage system feeding into larger bodies like David Gwest Lake, illustrating the rural agricultural character of Southwest Georgia. The map documents numerous local routes such as Bill Merritt Rd and Harry Priddy Rd, which connect isolated homesteads to the primary state corridors.
