About this map

The city of Pembroke serves as a focal point in this 2017 study of the Georgia lowlands, situated near the southwestern edge of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Black Cr and its tributaries, including Lower Black Cr and Upper Black Cr, which wind through a mosaic of wetlands and timberland. To the north, the terrain gives way to named landforms within the swampy reaches, such as Cooks Island, Jennett Island, and the curiously named Moonshine Island.

Local history is preserved in the location of the North Side Cem and Stevens Grove Cem, while the road network connects small communities and rural outposts like Lanier. Transportation and commerce are centered around the modern corridors of I-16 and the CSX railroad, which cut through the southern portion of the map. Distinctive local landmarks such as Burnsed Bridge and the Ivanhoe Hunting Club illustrate the region's long-standing connection to its riverine environment and outdoor heritage.
