2020 Map of Naylor

About this map

The settlement of Naylor and the nearby Greens Crossing anchor this portion of the Georgia coastal plain along the boundary between Lowndes and Lanier counties. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, characterized by numerous bays and branches including George Carter Island Bay, Fish Pond Bay, and the slow-moving Alapaha River. This river corridor features notable crossings such as Dixon Mill Bridge and Hotchkiss Bridge, reflecting a rural infrastructure built around the local waterways and mills. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of James Cem, Foreman Cem, and Sweet Prospect Cem, while the unconventional Christians Folly Airport stands out as a unique private landmark. Small ponds and branches like Monk Pond and Meetinghouse Br illustrate the dense network of wetlands that historically shaped the region's agricultural and transit patterns.
