About this map

Du Pont and Greenwood anchor this survey of the South Georgia pine lands, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetland depressions and slow-moving creeks. The border between Lanier and Clinch counties runs north-to-south through a terrain marked by numerous "bays"—large, shallow elliptical depressions—including Clithespond Bay, Timmerman Bay, and Johnson Bay. These features, alongside drainages like Buck Cr and Cow Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of the region and influence the layout of the rural road network.

Transportation through these wetlands relies on a series of local connectors such as Old Stockton Rd and Hornage Rd, which skirt the edges of the bay systems. The presence of Suwanoochee Cr and Whitehead Bay in the eastern portion of the map highlights the transition toward the deeper Suwannee River drainage basin. This 2020 data captures a modern rural Georgia landscape where timber and agriculture continue to navigate the natural boundaries set by these distinctive coastal plain formations.
