2020 Map of Sibbie

About this map

Sibbie and Abba sit within a landscape of South Georgia wetlands and family-named cemeteries at the intersection of Irwin, Ben Hill, and Wilcox counties. This area is defined by its intricate hydrography, featuring unique karst-like landforms such as Blue Sink, Black Lake, and the evocative Devils Den. The rural road network, including Salem Church Rd and Dewey McGlamry Rd, connects numerous local burial grounds like Bethlehem Cem and Mims Cem, reflecting a long-standing pattern of family settlement. To the southeast, the northern reaches of Fitzgerald begin to appear, while smaller crossroads like Double Bridges mark the transitions between drainage basins for House Cr and the S Prong House Cr. The map captures the quiet, agricultural character of the Wiregrass Region, where the land is carved by numerous small streams such as Stone Cr and Player Cr.
