About this map

Irwinville and the surrounding coastal plain of south-central Georgia are defined by a complex network of ponds, lakes, and the winding course of the Alapaha River. This 2014 survey documents the rural character of the region, where the landscape is dotted with family-named water bodies like Oneal Wynn Lake and Clements Lake. The presence of Turner Lake Ford and Walker Ford along the river highlights a traditional reliance on established crossing points in an area dominated by wetlands and creeks.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including Irwinville Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Big Creek Cem. The settlement at Lands Crossroads and the Crystal Lake Airpark indicate the localized centers of activity and transportation within this agricultural and timber-producing corridor. Numerous small ponds such as Log Pond and Brickyard Lake suggest historical land uses and the hydrology typical of this section of the state.
