2014 Map of Patten

About this map

Patten and Merrillville anchor this portion of Thomas County, where a network of rural roads such as Patten Speedway Rd and Coffee Rd connect a landscape of timber and agricultural tracts. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Kennedy Chapel Cem, Mt Calvary Cem, and Aucilla Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineage. The drainage pattern here is complex, with the Aucilla River winding through the southwestern corner while Piscola Cr and Big Cr move through the center and northern reaches. Notable landmarks like Tyler Lake and the intersection at Five Forks Rd illustrate the local importance of specific water features and road junctions in this corner of southern Georgia.
