The village of Shumway anchors this portion of Effingham County, situated at a road crossroads just north of the jagged shoreline of Lake Sara. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a high density of rural burial grounds, including Shumway Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Trinity Lutheran Cem, which often point to the locations of early area congregations. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex as it descends toward the water, where Blue Point Baptist Cem sits near the headwaters of Blue Point Cr.
