2017 Map of Summertown

About this map

Summertown and the rural crossroads of Emanuel County are defined by the intricate drainage of the Canoochee Creek system. The landscape is characterized by the branching waters of the N Prong Canoochee Cr, S Prong Canoochee Cr, and Canoochee Cr itself, which dictate the placement of early settlements and family landmarks. Small communities like Blun, Old Dellwood, and Modoc are connected by a network of local roads such as Covena Rd and Old Wadley Rd. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the scattered burial grounds that dot this territory, including New Hope Cem, Moxley Cem, and Hawhammock Cem. The presence of Jenkins Pond and Bell Lake further highlights the importance of water resources in this part of Georgia.
