About this map

Alligator Creek and its many tributaries, including Joiner Cr and Whitewater Cr, dominate the drainage patterns across this rural landscape where the boundaries of Laurens, Wheeler, Dodge, and Telfair counties converge. This intersection of counties is marked by a complex network of local routes such as Ella Burch Rd and Ralph Gay Rd, which serve scattered family-named cemeteries and landmarks. Genealogy researchers may find significance in Antioch Cem, Burch Cem, and New Hope Cem, while the Doctor Alfred Tennyson Coleman Memorial Bridge serves as a prominent modern landmark in the eastern portion of the survey. The southern terrain transitions into the wetlands surrounding Gum Swamp Creek and Wilcox Cr, illustrating the typical hydrology of Georgia's coastal plain.
