About this map

The small communities of Pine Grove and Prentiss anchor this south Georgia landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and creek systems. Located just west of Baxley in Appling County, the area is defined by the slow-moving waters of Bishop Creek, Black Water Creek, and Sweetwater Creek. Notable man-made modifications to the natural drainage include the Bishop Creek Structure Number Seven Dam and the Miller Lake Dam, which create significant local water bodies like Lake Mayers.

Genealogists will find interest in the numerous small burial grounds dispersed among the rural road networks, including Sellers Cemetery, Crapps Cemetery, Baxley Cemetery, and Campground Cemetery. These sites, alongside settlements like Phillipi, illustrate the historical pattern of family-centered development in the pine woods of the coastal plain. The survey also preserves the names of numerous local thoroughfares such as Nails Ferry Rd and Altamaha School Rd, reflecting the region's agricultural and educational infrastructure.
