About this map

Pavo and Barwick anchor the landscape of this South Georgia survey, revealing a rural network of farm-to-market roads and water management systems. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Mule Creek and Little Creek, punctuated by significant irrigation and water control structures like the Lake Nichols Dam Number One, Lake Pope Dam, and Bryan Lake Dam. This 2011 documentation provides a detailed look at the local infrastructure including the Barwick Post Office and numerous family and community burial grounds.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several small cemeteries, such as Lebanon Cemetery, Caulden Cemetery, and Robinson Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts. Small communities like Shelly, Sand Hill, and Hollis remain as distinct nodes within the expansive grid of county highways, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of the region well into the early 21st century.
