About this map

Rochelle serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where a grid of town streets meets an extensive network of county roads. The area's agricultural and rural character is defined by a series of family-named cemeteries, such as Evergreen Cemetery, Morningside Cemetery, and Hannah Cemetery, which offer valuable geographic markers for local genealogists. Smaller settlements like Kramer to the east and Owensboro to the south anchor the outlying corners of the quadrangle.

Water management is prominent across the terrain, evidenced by several impoundments including Morrison Lake, Pierce Lake, and Anderson Lake, each with its own dam. These sits alongside natural drainage systems like Reynolds Creek and the Alapaha River. The road network, featuring routes such as County Hwy-134 and County Hwy-200, illustrates how the community remains connected across the numerous creeks and wetlands that crisscross Wilcox County.
