About this map

The Alapaha River meanders south through this Wilcox County landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the rural communities of Pitts and Seville. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by agricultural plots and an extensive network of county roads like County Hwy-254 and Seville Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its density of burial sites, including the Union Cemetery, Snow Hill Cemetery, and New Bethel Cemetery.

Water management is evident through numerous small impoundments such as McBryant Lake and South Jones Lake, each marked by its respective dam. These features, along with the course of Double Run Creek, reveal how the local topography has been adapted for irrigation and land use. The presence of the Fitzgerald Cemetery near the southern boundary further highlights the deep-rooted family and community history characteristic of this part of Georgia.
