About this map

The Ocmulgee River winds through this South Georgia landscape, defining the borders of Telfair, Coffee, and Ben Hill counties. Near the river crossing, the settlement of Jacksonville serves as a local hub, anchored by the Jacksonville Ferry Bridge and several family-named landmarks. The area is notable for its high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Graham Cem, Shaw Cem, and Wilcox Cem, which provide significant genealogical data for the region.

Further south, the small community of Relee sits near the confluence of Paul Cr and Aunt Omie Cr. The terrain is characterized by riverine bluffs such as Barr Bluff and Coffee Bluff, overlooking a network of wetlands and bays like Buzzard Bay and Scott Bay. These features reflect a landscape still shaped by its primary watercourses and the local families who established homesteads along the river road network.
