2011 Map of Lenox

About this map

Lenox and the nearby community of Staunton anchor this South Georgia landscape, where agricultural land is partitioned by an extensive network of county roads and drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the slow-moving waters of the New River and several significant tributaries, including Reedy Creek, Brushy Creek, and Rock Branch. This 2011 survey reveals a rural economy centered on managed water resources, evidenced by the numerous impoundments such as Hand Lake, Griffin Lake, and Betts Lake, each with its associated dam. Local history is preserved at the Rutland Cemetery and Mathis Cemetery, while traditional crossing points like Hesters Bridge and Brown Bridge indicate long-established travel routes through the creek bottoms. The map illustrates the close relationship between the town of Lenox and the primary north-south transportation corridor that bisects the region.
