2024 Map of Snipesville

About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves a winding path through this corner of Jeff Davis County, defining the borders with Telfair and Coffee counties. This riverine landscape is marked by historical crossing points like Ashleys Ferry and Burketts Ferry, which historically linked these rural timber and farming communities across the water. To the south, the settlement of Kirkland sits near the headwaters of Hurricane Creek, while Snipesville occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find interest in localized landmarks such as Hall Cem near Horse Creek and Saint Andrews Cem further south. The geography is characterized by distinct wetland features including Dan Bland Bay and Still Bay, alongside numerous lakes like Varnadoe Lake and Montgomery Lake that dot the river basin.
