About this map

The Satilla River and Little Satilla River define this corner of Southeast Georgia, where the boundaries of Pierce, Brantley, and Wayne counties converge. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and naming conventions that reflect local families and topography, such as Indian Bluff and Sixty Foot Br. The road network provides evidence of early settlement patterns, with routes like Old River Rd, Laura Chapel Rd, and Raulerson Rd connecting remote homesteads and crossings.

Genealogists will find interest in the Raulerson Cem, a key landmark situated near the junction of Raulerson Rd and Trudie Rd. The drainage patterns of Otter Cr, Griffin Br, and Reedy Br illustrate the hydrologic character of the basin before it joins the larger river systems. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of these rural roads and family-named landmarks in a region defined by its blackwater rivers and piney woods.
