About this map

Metter serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, where a grid of rural roads and highways connects small outlying settlements like Olifftown, Shamrock, and Union. The area is defined by a dense network of black-water streams and drainage basins, most notably Fifteenmile Creek and Stocking Head Creek, which are dotted with numerous man-made lakes and dams such as Daughtry Lake North and Collins Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Oliff Cemetery, Byrd Cemetery, and Dekle Cemetery. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the county seat's operation, from the Metter Post Office in the town center to the Turner Airport on the eastern periphery. Several bridges, including Salem Bridge and Jones Bridge, mark the historic crossing points over the winding creek beds that characterize this coastal plain terrain.
