2017 Map of Nunez

About this map

Oak Park serves as a central hub in this Emanuel County landscape, situated where local roads converge near the southern reaches of the Ohoopee River. The map reveals a rural Georgia environment defined by small, dispersed settlements like Nunez, Wesley, and Lexsy, each connected by a network of named country lanes such as Nunez Lexsy Rd and Country Road 450. The density of family-named burial grounds, including Youmans Cem, Edenfield-Slater-Cem, and Yeomans Cem, provides a significant resource for genealogical research, anchoring the modern landscape to established family lineages. Water features like Yam Grandy Creek and Youmans Lake influence the local topography, while Gainer Corporation Lake indicates industrial or managed water use in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This detailed survey preserves the spatial relationship between these crossroads communities and the natural watercourses that shaped their early development.
