About this map

Little Hurricane Creek and its various tributaries, including Brushy Creek, wind through this rural landscape on the border of Coffee and Bacon counties. The area is defined by a traditional Southern settlement pattern of small, scattered communities like Sessoms, Guysie, and the western edge of Alma. This modern survey reveals the enduring presence of local genealogy sites, with numerous denominational landmarks such as Campground Methodist Church and Douglas Chapel Baptist Church serving as focal points for their respective cemeteries.

The terrain is largely influenced by water, from the wetlands surrounding Whiddons Millpond to the lakes in the southeast, including Mullis Lake and Jones Lake. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Bacon County Airport near the eastern margin, while a dense network of country roads—many bearing descriptive or family names like Jim Meeks Rd and Lucy Moore Rd—connects these small agricultural and timber-linked settlements.
