About this map

The low-lying pine woods and bottomlands of Wayne County define the landscape of this 2014 survey. The small settlements of K'Ville and Ritch serve as central points for a rural road network that includes historical routes like Holmesville Rd and Empire School Rd. The geography is dictated by the drainage of the Little Satilla Cr, which includes the Little Satilla Cr Structure Number Seven Lake, along with its numerous tributaries such as Boggy Cr, Dry Cr, and Reedy Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is a vital record of family landmarks, preserving the locations of several burial grounds. Researchers can find the Old Ritch Cem, Smiths Cem, Thornton Cem, and Bennett Cem distributed across the landscape. The layout of these cemeteries and named country lanes like Will Roberson Rd and Coy Roberts Rd provides a clear view of the area's twentieth-century rural development and property divisions.
