About this map

The agricultural lands of Crisp County east of Cordele are defined by a network of family-named lakes and rural crossroads in this 2020 survey. Small settlements such as Penia, Listonia, and East Crisp dot the landscape, connected by a grid of named roads like Penia Rd N and Listonia Rd. These communities reflect the long-standing rural structure of the region, where life centers around local landmarks and religious sites.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-linked sites, including the Zion Hope Methodist Cem and the Musselwhite Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of impoundments and natural drainages, such as Williams Lake, Matthews Lake, and Carden Pond, which feed into larger systems like Deep Cr and Redoak Cr. This modern map preserves the names of these essential water features and burial grounds, providing a clear view of the contemporary rural South.
