2017 Map of Mitchell

About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through this landscape, defining the winding boundary between Glascock and Hancock Counties. This area is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Mitchell Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and the Llewellyn - Kitchens Cem, which offer significant data for genealogical research. The small settlements of Mitchell and Agricola serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural routes like Agricola Rd and Mitchell Rd. Hydrological features dominate the southern half of the map, where Chalker Lake and the wetlands around Floyd Cr create a distinct terrain from the more elevated northern sections. Significant river crossings, including Harrisons Bridge and Cobb Bridges, highlight the historical transport patterns required to navigate the river's many branches and seasonal floodplains.
