About this map

Swift Creek and its many tributaries, including Rattlesnake Branch and Jones Creek, define the drainage patterns of this South Georgia landscape near the Crisp and Wilcox county lines. The settlement at Pateville serves as a central point, situated near Hardin Lake and its corresponding Hardin Lake Dam. The area is characterized by a network of rural routes such as Arabi Warwick Rd and Pateville Rd, which connect small clusters of homes and historical agricultural sites.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. Locations like Zion Hope Cemetery, Butts Cemetery, Story-Odum Cemetery, and Rocky Mount Cemetery preserve the names of early local families. Further north, the small community of Hardin and the area known as Bridges provide additional context for early twentieth-century rural settlement, while the Houston Youth Camp indicates more modern land use development in this part of the state.
