2014 Map of Penia

About this map

Cordele stands as the primary urban center on the western edge of this Crisp County landscape, while the interior is defined by agricultural lands and small rural settlements. The community of Penia sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by smaller localities including East Crisp, Listonia, and Musselwhite. The terrain is characterized by a network of creeks and man-made lakes, such as Eastwood Lake and the various basins of Williams Lake, which support the region's agricultural productivity. Family and community heritage is preserved in scattered burial grounds like Dorough Cem and Zion Hope Cem, located near the historic road networks. The intricate drainage patterns of Redoak Cr and Deep Cr navigate the gentle relief, illustrating the natural water management of the Georgia coastal plain. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of these named hamlets and the vital role of local water bodies in a modern southern rural context.
