About this map

The Withlacoochee River winds through the heart of this landscape at the intersection of Cook, Berrien, and Lowndes Counties. This modern survey illustrates a deeply rural South Georgia terrain defined by extensive wetlands and family-named landmarks. The river corridor is joined by numerous tributaries such as Possum Cr and Hutchinson Mill Cr, creating a complex drainage network that historically shaped the region's agricultural boundaries and crossings like Williams Bridge and Hagan Bridge.

For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small family or community burial grounds including Wilkes Cem, Daniels Cem, and Money Cem. While the larger settlement of Hahira appears at the southern edge and Cecil to the west, much of the area consists of scattered farmsteads and rural routes like Val Del Rd and Studstill Rd that connect the small community of New Lois to the surrounding timber and farmlands.
