About this map

The Ocmulgee River snakes across this corner of Telfair County, creating a landscape defined by sharp bluffs and low-lying wetlands. The town of Jacksonville sits near the riverbank, serving as a historic crossing point evidenced by the Jacksonville Ferry Bridge. This region is particularly dense with family and community burial grounds, including the Graham Cemetery, Larkey Cemetery, and Wilcox Cemetery, which provide a detailed record of the area's ancestral residents.

South of the river, the settlement of Relee is surrounded by small water bodies like Bush Lake and Cherokee Lake, each controlled by local structures such as the Bush Lake Dam. The terrain is marked by numerous named tributaries, including Lampkin Branch and Coffee Branch, which feed into the river system. The presence of features like Coffee Bluff and Barr Bluff indicates the elevation changes that characterize the river's path through this Georgia landscape.
