2014 Map of Groveland

About this map

Groveland and Pembroke anchor the lower portion of this landscape, situated along the Charles F Warnell Sr Hwy corridor. The geography is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainage systems, including the extensive Luke Swamp and several creeks like Ash Br and Otter Hole Br. Small rural communities such as Reka, Southward, and Mitchell Forks are connected by a web of local roads, many bearing family names that indicate long-standing local ties, such as Billy Hendrix Rd and Nesmith Proctor Rd. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Beautiful Zion Cem and Red Hill Cem. The boundary between Bulloch and Bryan counties cuts diagonally across the center, illustrating how these natural and political lines converge in this part of Georgia. The settlement pattern reflects a transition from traditional agricultural clusters like Statesborough toward more structured transportation corridors.
