About this map

Lake Seminole dominates this southwest Georgia landscape, its vast backwaters defining the boundary between Seminole and Decatur counties. The small settlement of Reynoldsville sits north of the lake along the GA-253 corridor, serving as a hub for the various residential roads and boat landings that line the northern shore. The geography is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins, including Whittakers Lake, Buffalo Pond, and Harvel Pond, all fed by local systems like Fishpond Drain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial grounds, such as Cloud Cem, Thursby Cem, and Randolph Cem, which remain as markers of the area's rural heritage. The southern portion of the map showcases the lake's interior island system, notably Sealeys Island, Perkins Island, and Fort Scott Island. The road network, including Peanut Bland Rd and Curtis Whittaker Rd, reflects the agricultural and recreational character of the region during the early twenty-first century.
