About this map

The town of Lenox serves as a focal point in this south Georgia landscape, situated along a transportation corridor that includes Staunton and Eldorado. The terrain is defined by a dense network of black-water drainages, including the New River and its numerous tributaries such as Reedy Cr, Brushy Cr, and Rock Br. These watercourses create a complex hydrological pattern, punctuated by significant water bodies like Betts Lake, Griffin Lake, and Hand Lake.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Oaky Grove Cem, Mathis Cem, and Rutland Cem scattered throughout the agricultural and timber lands. The infrastructure of the era is represented by rural crossings like Hesters Bridge and Brown Bridge, reflecting how local commerce and travel adapted to the winding river systems. The map illustrates the convergence of Cook, Berrien, and Tift counties, showing a landscape defined by its waterways and small, historic communities.
