About this map

The Ocmulgee River meanders through the heart of this Jeff Davis County landscape, defining the character of the terrain with its intricate bends and associated backwaters like Montgomery Lake. This survey captures the rural layout of the region, anchored by the settlement of Snipesville in the southeast and Kirkland to its north. The river's importance to local travel and commerce is evidenced by numerous named points of access, including Burket Ferry Landing, Haddocks Landing, and Rocky Hammock Landing.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as Hall Cemetery and Saint Andrews Cemetery, the latter situated near the southern edge of the quadrangle. Significant water management features are also documented, including the Varnadoe Lake Dam on Varnadoe Lake. The map details a network of rural routes such as County Hwy-213 and Rocky Hammock Landing Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and river landings across the coastal plain.
