2017 Map of Rebecca

About this map

The town of Rebecca serves as a focal point in this South Georgia landscape, where agricultural land meets the winding course of the Alapaha River. The area is characterized by its numerous small family and community burial sites, which provide significant genealogical value for the region. These include Taylor Cem, Paulk Cem, Piney Grove Cem, and New Providence Cem, among others, scattered across the county lines of Turner, Wilcox, Ben Hill, and Irwin. This confluence of four counties creates a complex jurisdictional layout, with the small community of Arp situated near the southern border. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage creeks such as Double Run Cr, Young Cr, and Willis Cr, which feed into various water bodies like Reeves Lake and Brown Lake. The road network is primarily composed of county routes like Double Run Rd and Salem Church Rd, connecting the scattered rural residences and church communities that define this corner of the Georgia coastal plain.
