2020 Map of Patten

About this map

Patten and Merrillville anchor this corner of South Georgia, where a dense network of country roads connects family cemeteries and small rural congregations. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Aucilla River and its numerous tributaries, including Piscola Cr and Big Cr. Genealogists will find a concentration of local burial sites like Gandy Cem, Antioch Cem, and Kennedy Chapel Cem, often situated near historic road junctions such as Five Forks. On the western edge, the Thomasville Regional Airport represents modern regional connectivity, contrasting with the traditional land use patterns indicated by widespread wetlands and named water bodies like Murphys Pond and Tyler Lake. This 2020 update documents the enduring rural character and established property boundaries of the region just west of Pavo.
