2017 Map of Groveland

About this map

Pembroke serves as a primary hub in this coastal plain landscape, situated at the junction of rail and highway corridors that define the region's movement. The map captures the interface between Bulloch and Bryan counties, where the land is characterized by extensive wetlands and drainage systems such as Luke Swamp, Ash Br, and Futch Br. These waterways thread through a network of small, scattered communities like Reka, Southward, and Mitchell Forks. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Beautiful Zion Cem, Red Hill Cem, and Lawrence Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineages. The presence of features like Simmons Pond and Bulloch Bay highlights the low-lying, water-dependent geography that has historically shaped agricultural and residential patterns in this part of Georgia.
