2011 Map of Sylvester

About this map

Sylvester serves as the central hub of Worth County in this modern survey, surrounded by a network of smaller communities including Poulan, Isabella, and Shingler. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, such as Warrior Creek, Horse Creek, and Ty Ty Creek, which are supplemented by numerous small man-made lakes and dams like the City of Sylvester Lake Dam. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several established burial grounds, notably Hillcrest Cemetery and Antioch Cemetery. The grid-like patterns of rural roads, such as Isabella Terrell Rd and Old Mail Rd, reflect the agricultural organization of the region. These routes connect various residential pockets and civic locations like the Sylvester Post Office, illustrating the continued importance of these traditional South Georgia settlements as they transitioned into the early twenty-first century.
