About this map

Fitzgerald and Ocilla anchor the northern and southern edges of this agricultural corridor in south-central Georgia, as documented in 2017. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Satilla Creek and its many tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Brushy Creek, which create a landscape punctuated by several small lakes such as Dorminy Lake, Ewing Lake, and Lake Beatrice.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered throughout the rural sections of Ben Hill and Irwin Counties, from the centrally located Mc Cook Cemetery to the Old Field Cemetery near the northern boundary. The mapping reveals a transition from the urban streets of Fitzgerald to the small settlement of Ashton, surrounded by a dense network of county roads like Camp Brooklyn Road and Saint Marys Road that connect these farming communities.
