About this map

Pavo and Barwick anchor this agricultural landscape along the Thomas and Brooks county line in southern Georgia. The map reveals a highly developed network of rural routes such as Old Pavo Rd and Coffee Rd, which intersect the small settlement of Hollis. These roads connect numerous family and community landmarks, particularly a high density of rural burial grounds including Lebanon Cem, Hodges Cem, and Oak Grove Cem.

Hydrology is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with low-lying areas drained by Mule Cr and Reedy Cr. Significant water bodies like Lake Nichols and Lake Pope suggest the importance of local irrigation and drainage in this farming district. The proximity of these features to historic routes like the Barwick-Morven Rd illustrates the long-standing relationship between the region's natural wetlands and its 21st-century road infrastructure.
