About this map

Hurricane Creek winds across this rural Appling County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a region defined by scattered farmsteads and family cemeteries. The mapping of Simmons Cemetery, Yawn Cemetery, and Taylor Cemetery reveals the generational footprint of local families in the backcountry of South Georgia. To the northeast, the Big Satilla Creek corridor marks the edge of the quadrangle, while the southern reaches feature managed water bodies such as Anderson Lake and Mckinnon Lake. The road network, including Ira Graham Rd and Zoar Rd, connects these isolated points of interest. This survey documents the persistent agricultural character of the area, where small tributaries like Mill Branch and Little Creek feed into the larger river systems that have historically shaped local commerce and land use.
