About this map

Metcalf and the community of Fincher sit at the southern edge of the Georgia-Florida state line, where Thomas County meets Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wards Cr and Pine Cr, punctuated by small water bodies like Mitchell Pond and Kellys Pond. This region is characterized by its agricultural and cemetery history, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Horne Cem, Roddenberry Cem, and Glasgow Cem.

Transport routes like Us-19 bisect the area, while local names like Greenwood Plantation Rd and Friendship Church Rd suggest long-established land divisions. The presence of McKeever Slough in the east indicates lower, seasonally wet ground typical of this borderland. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of labeled cemeteries, documenting the generational footprint of this rural southern community.
