2011 Map of Lumber City

About this map

Lumber City serves as the focal point of this riverine landscape, situated where the Little Ocmulgee River meets the larger Ocmulgee River. The town's historical reliance on these waterways is evidenced by several river access points, including the Lumber City Landing, Murdock McRaes Landing, and the curiously named Hard Bargain Landing. To the south, the settlement of Walkers Camp sits near a bend in the river, while the local infrastructure is further defined by the Hazlehurst Airport and several water management features like Cook Lake and its associated Cook Lake Dam. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved across the quadrangle at sites such as Riverside Cemetery, Wooten Cemetery, and McArthur Cemetery. The geography is characterized by a network of creeks, including Alligator Creek and Sugar Creek, which drain into the main river systems through a series of wetlands and small lakes like Sears Lake and Powell Lake.
