About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Brooks and Lowndes counties, defining the character of this South Georgia landscape. In 2014, the area remains a mix of agricultural tracts and small settlements like Durden, Blue Springs, and Ousley. These communities are clustered along the east-west corridor of US-84 and the historic Old Quitman Hwy, which trace the higher ground above the river's floodplains.

Water is the dominant feature of the terrain, from the industrial presence of Langdale Company Lake and Langdale Lake in the south to smaller basins like Simmons Pond. Numerous watercourses, including Tiger Creek, Millrace Creek, and Okapilco Creek, feed into the river system. Local history is anchored by sites like Lebanon Cemetery, providing a genealogical touchstone for families established along roads such as Troupeville Rd and Reedy Creek Rd.
