About this map

The Satilla River meanders across this landscape south of Douglas, defining the boundary between Coffee and Atkinson counties. Small settlements and rural homesteads are scattered throughout the region, with the community of Mora serving as a central point along the northern edge of the Atkinson County line. The area is heavily marked by its genealogical landscape, containing numerous family and community burial grounds such as John Carver Cem, Saint Illa Cem, and Hebron Cem.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, featuring prominent water bodies like Holiday Beach Lake and Hilliards Pond alongside numerous tributaries including Reedy Creek and Bear Creek. The southern reaches of the map include the settlement of Oberry, situated near the sprawling wetlands of Dark Bay. This network of streams and named creek branches illustrates the drainage patterns characteristic of the south Georgia coastal plain.
