About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Georgia coastal plain converges at the junction of Appling, Bacon, and Jeff Davis counties. This territory is defined by the winding course of Hurricane Cr and the waters of Big Satilla Cr to the northeast, while the southern reaches contain Mckinnon Lake and Anderson Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, providing significant data for genealogists tracing roots through Zoar Cem, Yawn Cem, Wilson Cem, and Taylor Cem.

Transit through the region centers on the Alma Hwy and a network of named local roads such as Philadelphia Church Rd and Boatright Rd. The landscape is primarily divided into large rural tracts, with small clusters of development around landmarks like Simmons Cem and Mims Cem. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of traditional land divisions and small-scale creek systems like Little Cr and Mill Br in a largely undeveloped section of South Georgia.
