About this map

Lakeland serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where the street grid meets the expansive waters of Banks Lake. The town's layout is defined by residential corridors like N Lakeshore Dr and W Patten Ave, while the nearby Bake Irma settlement sits just to the east. The terrain is dominated by complex wetlands and hydrologic features, including the winding Alapaha River and the broad Milltown Bay.

South of the main settlement, the land transitions into a network of named ponds and hammocks, such as Patten's Pond and Lightsey Hammock. Local history is anchored by sites like Lovejoy Cem in the southeast and family-named water features like Darsey Mill Br. The map also details numerous bay and island features characteristic of the region, including Peters Bay and the Pine Islands, illustrating the integration of small-town development with the surrounding swamp and river ecosystems.
