2024 Map of Ocilla West

About this map

The Irwin County Courthouse serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in south-central Georgia, where the small community of Ocilla sits at the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainages, including Reedy Creek, Little Creek, and Mill Creek, which meander through pine-heavy lowlands toward Stump Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship, such as Old Valley Grove Cem and the Mystic Baptist Church Cem near the town of Mystic. The transition from the more settled eastern corridor of Ocilla to the western crossroads of Pinetta reveals a landscape dominated by agricultural timber tracts and isolated ponds like Bussell Pond and Lake Bettie, reflecting the enduring rural character of Irwin County in the 21st century.
