About this map

Ocilla serves as the primary urban center in this Georgia landscape, its grid of streets like Weldon Ave and E Valdosta Ave giving way to a network of rural routes named for local flora and families. The terrain is defined by a dense hydrological system, where the Willacoochee River and Satilla Cr meander through low-lying areas. Numerous small lakes, including Shiver Lake South, Tankersly Lake, and E Paulk Lake, punctuate the countryside between the river basins.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout the quadrangle. From the central Ocilla City Cem to the outlying William F Paulk Cem, Whitleys Cem, and Henderson Chapel Cem, these sites mark the long-standing settlement patterns of the region. The map also records the small community of Holt and features like Brushy Creek Cem, offering a detailed view of Irwin County's rural structure.
