About this map

The Canoochee River and Fifteenmile Cr define this landscape south of Metter, winding through a complex network of wetlands and tributaries at the intersection of Candler, Tattnall, and Evans counties. This 2017 study illustrates the rural infrastructure of the Georgia coastal plain, where numerous crossings such as Turner Bridge, Flat Ford Bridge, and Green Bridge link isolated homesteads and agricultural tracts.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Dixon Grove Cem and Holland Cem. The map captures the transition from the structured street grid near S Lewis St and the Metter Municipal Airport to the winding secondary roads like Evergreen Church Rd and Gary Barnard Rd. Water bodies like Brannen Lake and Laniers Pond underscore the hydrology that has shaped land use and settlement patterns in this multi-county border region for generations.
