About this map

The coastal plain landscape of south Georgia is defined here by the intricate drainage systems of Lotts Creek and its many tributaries. In the late 1970s, this rural area near the border of Bulloch Co and Evans Co remained a patchwork of woodland and cleared fields, connected by a network of local churches that anchored the community. Notable among these are Ephesus Old Line Ch and New Corent Ch, alongside several cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research.

Water management and local industry are visible through features like Kennedy Pond and Tillman Pond, as well as active Sandpits along Little Lotts Creek. A notable historical trace is the Old Railroad Grade running through the southern portion of the map near Nevils, marking the path of former transportation routes that once linked these agrarian settlements. The map also records numerous unnamed Cem locations, providing a detailed record of local family burials across the countryside.
