2017 Map of Kirkland

About this map

Roundabout Swamp dominates the central landscape of this Atkinson County region, a vast wetland system that shapes the local geography and road patterns. The area is anchored by the small community of Kirkland, situated along the primary east-west corridor toward Pearson. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes and numerous named bays and creeks, including Hog Creek Bay, Still Bay, and Dark Bay. These geological depressions are characteristic of the coastal plain, often serving as critical drainage points for waterways like Little Red Bluff Cr and Pudding Cr. Numerous family-named roads such as Alston Warren Ln and Harvey Newbern Rd suggest a landscape still deeply connected to its agricultural and timber-producing roots. The map also identifies local landmarks like Vickers Lake and the settlement of Leliaton, providing a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in south Georgia.
