2017 Map of Penia

About this map

Agricultural lands and rural communities characterize this 2017 survey east of Cordele, where the landscape is defined by its small water bodies and historical family burial grounds. Significant local-history markers include Dorough Cem near Midway Church Rd and the Zion Hope Cem on Zion Hope Rd. The map documents a transition from the urban edge of Cordele into the unincorporated settlements of Penia, Listonia, and Musselwhite. A network of creeks and named lakes, such as Crane Lake, Matthews Lake, and the series of reservoirs known as Williams Lake Two and Williams Lake Three, indicates a reliance on water management for the surrounding farms. Roads like Old Penia Rd and Old Tremont RD connect these rural hubs, while the southern reaches are drained by Lime Cr and Reedy Br.
