2014 Map of Snipesville

About this map

The Ocmulgee River meanders across this landscape, defining the winding political boundaries of Telfair and Jeff Davis counties. The terrain is a network of waterways and swampy lowland features including Montgomery Lake, Varnadoe Lake, and Horse Creek. Toward the southeast, the settlement of Snipesville sits at the junction of Ga-107 and Broxton Hwy, while the community of Kirkland is tucked further north among a grid of timber and family roads. Genealogists and local researchers can identify significant burial sites such as Saint Andrews Cem and Hall Cem. The presence of labels like Dodge Boon Lndg and Bunketts Ferry Rd suggests a history of river-dependent transit and river crossings that once linked these rural Georgia communities across the Ocmulgee's shifting banks.
