About this map

Lucile serves as a central point in this rural Georgia landscape, where a network of county roads connects scattered agricultural communities in Miller County. The geography is defined by a dendritic drainage system including Flat Creek, Acocks Creek, and the curiously named Susian Ford Creek. These waterways once supported local industry, evidenced by the site of Howards Mill and the Mims Millpond dam in the northwest.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground between these creeks, with small hubs like Jones Crossroads and Mayhaw marking the intersections of travel. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as Green Cemetery and the southern settlement of Killarney. The mapping shows a transition from natural watercourses to managed agricultural drainage, with features like the Fishpond Drain and Gilbert Lake illustrating how the land has been utilized for resources and recreation into the 21st century.
