2011 Map of Du Pont

About this map

Du Pont sits at the northwest corner of this Clinch County landscape, serving as the primary hub for a network of rural roads that crisscross the low-lying terrain of southern Georgia. The geography is defined by slow-moving water and expansive wetlands, most notably the winding course of Jones Creek and the marshy reaches of Lees Bay. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Sweetwater Creek feeds into Lake Verne, a significant water body held by the Lake Verne Dam. This survey documents a quiet, agrarian region where the placement of small burial grounds like Eason Cemetery and Dame Cemetery reflects the long-standing family settlements that have shaped the local history. Numerous named routes, such as Woodyard Rd and Olive Leaf Rd, provide a framework for understanding the transit and timber-influenced economy of the area in the early 21st century.
