About this map

The Ocmulgee River meanders across this landscape, forming a natural boundary between Telfair, Jeff Davis, and Coffee counties. This 2017 survey illustrates a rural region defined by its complex hydrology, where river bends meet numerous oxbows and wetlands like Still Bay and Dan Bland Bay. The small settlements of Snipesville and Kirkland serve as the primary hubs for a network of local roads, many named for long-standing local families such as Dan Kirkland Rd and James Anderson Rd.

Genealogists will find the locations of Hall Cem and Saint Andrews Cem useful for tracing roots in this corner of Georgia. The terrain transitions from the low river basin containing Montgomery Lake to the slightly higher ground where timber and agricultural roads, such as Timber Company Rd and Mulberry Rd, predominate. The map also traces the paths of Horse Creek and Hurricane Cr as they feed into the larger river system.
