2014 Map of Sumner

About this map

Sumner serves as the primary hub in this South Georgia landscape, where the town grid is established at the intersection of local roads and the railroad corridor. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and drainage systems, including the headwaters and branches of Little River and Ty Ty Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of several rural burial grounds, ranging from the Old Sumner Cem to the Clements Chapel Cem and Damascus Cem. To the northwest, the small settlement of Terrell marks another point of historical interest amidst the agricultural fields. The geography is notably intricate along the county lines of Worth, Turner, and Tift, where the meandering path of Daniels Cr and Big Br dictate the political boundaries, illustrating how the natural hydrology of the coastal plain shaped the region's jurisdictional layout.
