2017 Map of Rochelle

About this map

Rochelle serves as the central hub of this Wilcox County landscape, where an organized grid of streets and avenues meets the rural agricultural reaches of southern Georgia. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Morningside Cem, and Pine City Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. To the east and south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by water, as House Cr and Mill Cr snake toward the Alapaha River at the southwestern corner. This area includes several named bodies of water such as Morrison Lake, Pierce Lake, and Anderson Lake. Small settlements like Kramer and Owensboro are linked to the county seat by a system of county roads, reflecting the long-standing transport patterns of this rural region.
