About this map

Kite serves as the central hub of this agrarian landscape, situated near the border of Emanuel and Johnson counties. The town's layout is defined by residential streets like College St and Railroad St, pointing to its historical development around transportation corridors. The surrounding rural areas are marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Kersey Family Cem and Gum Log Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research and tracing the lineage of early area settlers.

The topography is intricately carved by a network of waterways, most notably the Little Ohoopee River and the convergence of Big Battleground Creek and Little Battleground Creek. These streams feed into various impoundments such as Rayonair Pond and Meeks Pond, illustrating how the local drainage patterns influenced property boundaries and the placement of country roads like Fortner Pond Rd and Midas Brantley Rd.
