About this map

The Ohoopee River and its major tributary, Yam Grandy Creek, define the topography of this Emanuel County landscape. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the community of Oak Park, where transportation routes converge near the riverbank. Further north, a network of country roads connects smaller settlements including Nunez, Wesley, and Lexsy. These areas are characterized by a strong presence of ancestral family lands, evidenced by the numerous family-named cemeteries scattered across the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family lineages through landmarks such as Youmans Cem, Yeomans Cem, and the Edenfield-Slater Cem. The importance of early education and local community centers is reflected in the placement of Lexsy School Rd and New Hope Church Rd. The map also captures several named water bodies used for local industry or recreation, such as Youmans Lake and Gainer Corporation Lake.
