About this map

Ray City serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where a network of county roads and historic drainage patterns define the settlement of Berrien County. The topography is dominated by an intricate system of creeks and ponds, notably the expansive Rays Millpond with its associated Rays Mill Pond Dam to the northeast. This water-rich environment is further characterized by Beaverdam Creek flowing near the heart of town and the large Banks Lake bordering the southeastern edge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ray City Cemetery on the town's eastern outskirts, while smaller communities like Teeterville and Barretts mark the peripheral transition into more rural agricultural lands. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of the town center—including Pauline Ave and Park St—to a landscape of named rural routes like Irene Church Rd and Garrisons Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on local creek systems like Cat Creek and Beatty Mill Creek.
