About this map

Grooverville and the community of Piscola define this Brooks County landscape, where small rural settlements are linked by a network of local roads such as Grooverville Rd and Ramsey Rd. The area is notably dense with burial sites that serve as important markers for genealogists and local historians, including the African Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, Saint Philip Cemetery, and Simmons Hill Cemetery.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Aucilla River and Cat Creek draining the region. Distinctive features like Windom Lake and Alico Company Lake, the latter held by Alico Company Dam, indicate a land managed for both natural drainage and local resources. This survey provides a clear view of the rural South Georgia landscape in the early 21st century, showing the persistence of family-named landmarks like Ramsey Cemetery amidst timber and agricultural lands.
