2014 Map of Kirkland

About this map

Kirkland and Leliaton anchor this portion of Atkinson County, situated along the primary east-west transportation corridor of Atkinson Boulevard. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and wetlands, including the swampy expanse of Dark Bay and the winding paths of Pudding Cr and Reedy Cr. This terrain, characteristic of the Georgia coastal plain, is marked by numerous family-named roads such as Gene Waldron Ln, Harvey Newbern RD, and Bobby Minchew Ln, which suggest a long-standing agricultural and residential pattern in the region. The map also traces significant drainage systems like Little Red Bluff Cr and Mill Cr, which together with Vickers Lake illustrate the local hydrology that historically shaped land use and settlement placement in the area.
