About this map

Garfield serves as the primary hub of this 2011 survey, situated at a junction of roads and waterways in Emanuel County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Fifteenmile Creek and Mill Creek, which drain the agricultural and wooded lands. For genealogists and local historians, several community landmarks are preserved on the sheet, such as Union Chapel, the adjacent Union Chapel Cemetery, and Hebron Cemetery.

Outlying settlements like Thrift and Butts illustrate the rural distribution of the region, connected by a web of family-named routes such as Joe Waters Rd and Old Garfield Rd. Small-scale water management is evident at Gay Lake Dam and Hendley Pond, which punctuate the stream systems of Sculls Creek and Richardson Creek. This modern survey provides a detailed inventory of the area's civil infrastructure, recording the persistent rural character of this Georgia landscape.
