2024 Map of Fitzgerald East

About this map

Fitzgerald and the surrounding South Georgia farmland are characterized by a network of local roads and creek drainages at the border of Ben Hill and Irwin counties. The landscape is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Kiokee Cem, McCook Cem, and Old Field Cem, reflecting a long-established rural settlement pattern. The city is bordered by several water bodies like the City of Fitzgerald Northeast Pond and Fitzgerald City Lake, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the headwaters of Satilla Creek and Sturgeon Creek. Industry and transit are visible through the CSX Transportation rail line and agricultural landmarks such as Taylor Farm Rd and Wilcox Farms Rd. This survey also documents local spiritual centers such as Mount Calvary Baptist Church Cem and Prospect Baptist Church Cem.
