About this map

Lakeland serves as the central hub of this Georgia landscape, situated at the confluence of several significant water bodies including Lake Irma and Mill Creek. The town's civic core is anchored by the Courthouse, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the expansive Banks Lake to the west, featuring the distinctive Pine Islands and Lightsey Hammock. This 2011 survey documents a region where water management and local geography are deeply intertwined, evidenced by the series of structures like the Banks Lake Dam and Lake Irma Dam.

Beyond the town center, the Alapaha River meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Dampier Branch and Darsey Mill Branch. Local history is preserved at the Lovejoy Cemetery in the southeast, while family-named landmarks like Pattens Pond and Howell Lake suggest a long-standing relationship between the community and the low-lying wetlands of Lanier County.
