About this map

The Little Ocmulgee River meanders southeastward across this Georgia landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Wheeler and Telfair counties. The settlement of Scotland occupies a central position near the riverbank, where the local road network converges. To the north, the small communities of Erick and Avants sit amidst a network of small tributaries like Mill Creek and Little Creek, while the town of Towns is located in the southeastern corner.

Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet due to the numerous family-named burial sites scattered through the countryside, including Williams Cem, Hinson Cem, and Purvis Cem. Agricultural and recreational water features like Flanders Lake, Cleggs Lake, and Talmadge Lake dot the terrain, illustrating the rural character of the region in the early 21st century. The landscape is also marked by Telfair Memorial Gardens and McDuffie Cem, providing a detailed record of local heritage sites near the Us-280 corridor.
