About this map

Cedar Grove and its surrounding rural landscapes in Laurens County are defined by a complex network of waterways that shaped local property lines and settlement patterns for generations. The terrain is crisscrossed by several significant drainages, including Gum Swamp Creek, Alligator Creek, and Whitewater Creek. The mapping of family-named burial grounds like Antioch Cemetery, Burch Cemetery, Harrelson Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery provides vital clues for genealogists and local historians tracing the lineage of early area residents. The road network, often bearing the names of local figures such as George Parrot Rd, Monroe Butler Rd, and Clarence Chappell Rd, reflects the agricultural and familial ties of this Georgia community. A notable modern landmark, the Doctor Alfred Tennyson Coleman Memorial Bridge, stands as a dedicated point of crossing within this aquatic landscape.
