About this map

The town of Rhine serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, situated near the intersection of the Rhine-Abbeville Hwy and several local routes that speak to the area's agricultural history. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Ocmulgee River, which forms the boundary between Dodge, Wilcox, and Telfair Counties. Along its banks and tributaries like Cypress Creek and Griffin Creek, the terrain transitions from riverine lowlands to upland farms connected by a network of county roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds distributed across the quadrangle, such as Reaves Bates Cem, Wilcox Cem, and Walker Cem. Smaller settlements like Temperance and Sharon anchor the southeastern portion of the map, while the presence of Railroad St in Rhine preserves the memory of the rail infrastructure that once drove the local economy.
