About this map

The Canoochee River and Tenmile Creek drain this landscape of the coastal plain, where family names are deeply rooted in the land's landmarks. Settlements like Register, New Hope, Excelsior, and Adabelle anchor the area, connected by a network of rural roads such as Kennedy Bridge Rd and Akin Anderson Rd. The distribution of burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cemetery and Easons Chapel Cemetery, provides a genealogical map of the region's early residents.

Industrial and agricultural water management is evident in the numerous impoundments and crossings, such as the Great Southern Paper Company Lake and the Mike Kennedy Bridge. Smaller water bodies like Tillman Pond, Atwood Pond, and Sykes Lake are often identified by family-named dams, reflecting a history of private land use and local hydrology. The persistence of these named bridges and ponds highlights the evolution of transit and commerce before more modern infrastructure bypasses reached this part of Bulloch County.
