About this map

The town of Kite serves as the central hub of this agricultural and riparian landscape in Johnson County, Georgia. This 2011 survey highlights a rural environment defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Ohoopee River and the Little Ohoopee River. The landscape is dotted with several family and community burial grounds, such as Gum Log Cemetery, Fortner Cemetery, and Anderson Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists and local historians.

A system of ponds and dams, including Rayonair Pond, Meeks Pond, and Josey Pond, reveals how local water resources have been managed for land use and drainage. The terrain is further etched by numerous named tributaries like Big Battleground Creek, Neels Creek, and Mulepen Creek. This map offers a clear view of the rural road network, with routes like Fortner Pond Rd and Meeks Rd connecting disparate farmsteads and landmarks across the Georgia coastal plain.
