The Black Creek river system winds through the borderlands of George and Jackson Counties, creating a complex wetland environment of sloughs and islands. This modern landscape is defined by the heavy presence of Black Creek Slough, John Goff Slough, and Camp Ground Slough, which frame the low-lying terrain around Straw Island and Parkers Island. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted local history, anchored by small rural centers such as Hurley, Wade, and Harleston.
