About this map

Lumber City sits at the strategic confluence of three Georgia counties, where the Little Ocmulgee River joins the larger Ocmulgee River. This map reveals a landscape defined by its waterways and transit corridors, including the path of Burketts Ferry Rd and numerous river-adjacent landmarks like Lovers Leap RD. The town's grid is dense with industrial and residential labels, featuring Industrial Blvd, E Railroad St, and Central Ave, reflecting its history as a processing hub for the surrounding timberlands.

Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites including Riverside Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Wooten Cem northwest of the main settlement. The surrounding terrain is punctuated by small lakes and drainage basins such as Cook Lake, Sears Lake, and Powell Lake, while the Hazlehurst Airport serves the region from the southeastern corner. The convergence of Telfair Co, Wheeler Co, and Jeff Davis Co borders within the river channel highlights the geopolitical significance of this river crossing.
