About this map

Canoochee River drainage patterns define this South Georgia landscape, where numerous tributaries like Fifteenmile Creek and Wolfe Creek converge. The terrain is a network of rural water bodies including Laniers Pond and Bowens Pond, supporting a scattered agricultural community centered around local spiritual and civic landmarks. This 1970s survey, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a persistent pattern of rural development focused near county lines.

Several local institutions are documented across the Candler, Tattnall, and Evans County borders, including Primitive Grove Ch and Evergreen Ch. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of community burial grounds such as Dixon Grove Cem and Everitt Cem. The presence of the Metter Airport at the northern edge indicates the modernization of transportation alongside these traditional rural settlements.
