2014 Map of Lakeland

About this map

Lakeland serves as the central hub of this Lanier County landscape, positioned at a vital junction of state routes and local thoroughfares. To the west, the expansive Banks Lake and its distinctive Pine Islands dominate the terrain, while the meandering Alapaha River carves a path through the eastern half of the map. The area's agricultural and industrial heritage is quietly noted through features like Darsey Mill Br and several large ponds, including Pattens Pond and Darsey Pond. For those tracing local history, the map includes the isolated Lovejoy Cem to the southeast and hints at former community centers along Crisp School Rd. The natural environment is defined by low-lying wetlands and hammocks, such as Lightsey Hammock, contrasting with the orderly grid of the town site centered around Lake Irma and its surrounding street network.
