2014 Map of Hazlehurst North

About this map

Tallahassee and the northern reaches of Hazlehurst serve as the primary anchors of this landscape, where the confluence of three significant rivers—the Ocmulgee River, Oconee River, and Altamaha River—shapes the geography. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as McEachin Cem, Wilcox andHall Cem, and Hester Cem, which point to a long history of local lineage and community settlement. A distinct transition from the river-bottom swamps near Mobley Swamp to the upland pines is crossed by a series of regional roads including Bells Ferry RD and Uvalda HWY. Notable river features like the Devils Elbow on the Oconee River and the Neel Lee Gillis Bridge crossing illustrate the importance of these waterways for both navigation and travel between Jeff Davis, Wheeler, and Montgomery counties.
