About this map

The Withlacoochee River winds through this South Georgia landscape, defining the jagged border between Cook and Berrien counties. This modern topographic study reveals a rural expanse dominated by a high density of water features, including Boyette Pond, Hutchinson Pond, and Futchs Pond. The network of small waterways like Hutchinson Mill Creek and Lindsey Branch suggests a history of localized water management and land use in a region primarily shaped by agriculture and timber.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Wilkes Cem, Daniels Cem, and Money Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts. The small settlement of New Lois serves as a central point in the northeastern corner, connected by a grid of named rural routes including Old Lois Rd and Studstill Rd. The map provides an exceptionally clear view of how these historic family names remain anchored to the physical geography through both roads and water bodies.
