2017 Map of Smithville East

About this map

Muckalee Creek meanders through this agricultural and wetland region, crossing the boundary between Sumter Co and Lee Co in southwest Georgia. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named waterways like Fivemile Branch, Boggy Branch, and Philema Cr, alongside local impoundments such as Virgil Holman Lake and Phillips Pond. The settlement pattern centers on Smithville in the southwest, while the rural interior is marked by small family landmarks and historical burial sites including Anthony Cem, Cowart Cem, and Deidrich Cem. The road network, comprising routes like Old Smithville Rd and Lee Street Rd, provides evidence of long-established transit corridors connecting these small communities and rural farmsteads. The area around Nine Bridges highlights the intersection of local infrastructure with the dense swampy terrain of the creek bottoms.
