About this map

Jacksonville serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, situated near the winding border where Telfair, Coffee, and Ben Hill counties meet. The area is defined by the significant river bottomlands surrounding Mill Creek, Alligator Cr, and Gregory Cr, which drain into the larger water system at the southern edge of the sheet. The terrain transitions from these low-lying creeks to higher ground where local landmarks like Coffee Bluff and Barr Bluff overlook the water.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous family and community burial grounds including Graham Cem, Shaw Cem, and Oak Grove Cem scattered along the local road network. The map records the infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing the Jacksonville Ferry Bridge and the small settlement of Relee to the south. This survey documents a rural Georgia environment where land use is dictated by the proximity to significant water bodies like Cherokee Lake and Joyice Lake.
