2011 Map of Patten

About this map

Patten and Five Forks serve as central points for this landscape in southern Georgia, where a dense network of family and community cemeteries reveals the deep genealogical roots of the region. The map shows a high concentration of memorial sites, including Gandy Cemetery, Lasseter Cemetery, and Martin Cemetery, many tucked away near road junctions or field edges. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage of several watercourses, most notably the Aucilla River and Piscola Creek, which meander through a grid of rural routes such as Patten Coolidge Rd and Harts Mill Rd. At Tyler Lake, the Tyler Lake Dam marks one of the few instances of water management in an otherwise largely agrarian landscape. The distribution of these burial grounds and small settlements suggests a long-standing rural community structure centered around local landmarks like Antioch Cemetery and Mount Calvary Cemetery.
