2020 Map of Smithville East

About this map

Muckalee Creek and Muckaloochee Cr define the hydrological character of this South Georgia landscape along the border of Sumter County and Lee County. Near the junction of these significant waterways, Smithville serves as the primary settlement, while smaller locales like Maddox and Nine Bridges anchor the rural crossroads. The area is marked by numerous family and historic burial sites, including Anthony Cem, Cowart Cem, and Deidrich Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in this part of the coastal plain. The terrain is a network of slow-moving water bodies such as Ballinger Lake, Usry Lake, and Virgil Holmen Lake, interspersed with branches like Boggy Branch and Fivemile Branch. This drainage pattern illustrates the agricultural and natural layout of the region, where roads like Lee Street Rd and Hooks Mill Rd navigate between the wetlands and creek beds.
