2017 Map of Lucile

About this map

Lucile and its surrounding rural hamlets sit at the intersection of Early and Miller Counties in this 2017 survey of southwest Georgia. The landscape is defined by its water systems, notably Howards Mill Cr and the winding Sheffield Mill Cr, which once powered the local economy as evidenced by the settlement at Howards Mill. The map documents a predominantly agricultural area characterized by a dense network of country roads such as Cedar Springs Hwy and Mayhaw Rd, connecting established community centers like Jones Crossroads and Killarney. Small, localized features such as the Green Cem and the low-lying wetlands of Fishpond Drain provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history or the evolution of Miller County’s land use. The presence of Gilbert Lake and several creeks, including Susian Ford Cr, illustrates the hydrological character of the Coastal Plain in this era.
