About this map

Hurricane Creek meanders through the central landscape of this 2017 Georgia survey, defining the drainage patterns and low-lying wetlands of eastern Coffee County. The settlement of Nicholls serves as a primary hub in the southeast, while smaller communities like West Green, Chatterton, and Saginaw are connected by a web of rural routes such as New Forest Hwy and Squirrel Bridge Rd.

The map reveals a landscape deeply rooted in local history, marked by numerous small family and community burial grounds that often serve as the last physical traces of earlier rural centers. Genealogists can locate specific sites including Sand Hill Cem, Kirkland Cem, and Wilcox Cem. The survey also documents the natural hydrography of the region, featuring Bear Creek, Otter Creek, and Hog Creek, which feed into the larger creek systems that characterize this part of the coastal plain.
