2017 Map of Register

About this map

Canoochee River and its various tributaries, such as Tenmile Cr and Bad Prong, define the drainage of this Bulloch County landscape. Small rural communities like Register, Excelsior, New Hope, and Adabelle are connected by a network of local roads and family-named landmarks. The area is marked by numerous agricultural ponds and private lakes, including the substantial Great Southern Paper Company Lake in the southwest corner. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Saint Pauls Cem, Bowen-Dekle Cem, and Easons Chapel Cem. Several bridges across the river and creeks, notably Mike Kennedy Bridge and Kennedy Bridge, indicate historical crossing points that have likely served these farming communities for generations. The land use remains primarily agricultural and timber-focused, reflecting the traditional economy of this Georgia coastal plain region.
