About this map

Fitzgerald serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, anchored by the Ben Hill County Courthouse and a surrounding grid of established neighborhoods. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Satilla Cr and Sturgeon Cr, which feed into several local water bodies including Dorminy Lake and Fitzgerald City Lake. This 2020 map documents the transition from the city’s organized streets to the agricultural and timbered lands of the surrounding countryside.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites across the landscape, from the Old Field Cem near the city's northern edge to the Prospect Cem and Mount Olive Cem further south. The boundary between Ben Hill County and Irwin County cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, where smaller settlements like Ashton and the northern outskirts of Ocilla appear, connected by a network of rural routes such as Dicksons Mill Pond Rd and Taylor Farm Rd.
