About this map

Leslie and De Soto anchor the upper portion of this South Georgia landscape, situated along a linear development pattern that follows the highway and rail corridor. The map reveals a transition from these organized town grids to the more dispersed settlement of Chokee further south. Local genealogy is well-represented through the presence of the Leslie City Cem, Desoto Cem, and Mount Zion Cem, while the road names suggest a deep connection to local families, such as Howell St, Bobby Hines Rd, and Grover Pace.

Water plays a critical role in the geography of the area, defined by the winding course of Chokee Creek and its various tributaries like Dry Br Creek. Land use is further characterized by features like Sadlers Millpond, Wilson Lake, and the specifically noted The Pit, while Parker's Xing and Standard Elevator Rd provide evidence of historical transport and agricultural logistics across the Sumter and Lee county line.
