About this map

The Ocmulgee River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the southern border of Telfair Co where it meets Coffee Co. This waterway has long defined local commerce and movement, evidenced by the Jacksonville Ferry Bridge crossing south of the town of Jacksonville. The settlement patterns here are deeply rooted in family history and local industry, with numerous small burial grounds such as Graham Cem, Larkey Cem, and Wilcox Cem scattered across the undulating terrain north of the river.

To the south, the village of Relee sits near the banks of Aunt Omie Cr and Cherokee Lake, while prominent river features like Coffee Bluff and Barr Bluff provide navigational landmarks along the shifting channel. The map also traces a network of rural routes, including the Old Coffee Rd and Old Relee Rd, which reflect the historic overland connections that once linked these riverfront communities to the interior of southern Georgia.
