2014 Map of Smithville East

About this map

Muckalee Creek and its many tributaries, such as Philema Cr and Boggy Branch, define the hydrological character of this South Georgia landscape near the line between Sumter and Lee Counties. In the southwestern corner, the town of Smithville serves as a local hub, flanked by the Smithville Lookout Tower and the winding Muckaloochee Creek. The map documents a rural transition where agricultural roads like Old Hooks Rd and Hooks Mill Rd connect scattered settlements and family-named cemeteries, including Anthony Cem and Deldrich Cem. Significant water features like Well Millpond, Ballinger Lake, and Phillips Pond indicate a landscape heavily influenced by both natural drainage and local water management. The area around Nine Bridges and the small settlement of Maddox further illustrate the long-standing transportation patterns established long before the arrival of modern highways like Us 19.
