About this map

The low-lying pine woods of South Georgia define this area on the border of Clinch and Echols counties. The small settlement of Pineland serves as a central point in a landscape crisscrossed by rural timber and access routes like Register Rd and Cow Trail Rd. Significant water features, including Suwannoochee Cr and the winding Toms Cr, dictate the placement of historical river crossings such as Brown Ford and Martha Johns Ford. These named fords are vital indicators of the local transport network before modern bridge infrastructure was fully established.

Further south, the terrain includes the notable Georgia Sink, a characteristic geological depression accessed via Georgia Sink Rd. The map also documents numerous local paths and "breaks," such as Bug Break and Turner Break, which reflect the area's ongoing history with the forestry and turpentine industries. These features, along with specialized road names like Sawarass Rd and Tap Deloach Rd, provide a detailed record of land use and family presence in this corner of the Georgia coastal plain.
