2014 Map of Sylvester

About this map

Sylvester serves as the central hub of this Worth County landscape, where the confluence of GA-33, GA-112, and the Us-82 corridor defines the regional transportation network. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and local history, anchored by the nearby community of Isabella to the northwest and Poulan to the southeast. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of Warrior Cr and Ty Ty Cr, which feed various water bodies including Odum Lake and the City of Sylvester Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Hillcrest Cem and Isabella Cem, alongside smaller rural sites like Antioch Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The map captures the transition from the concentrated residential blocks of the county seat to the outlying farmsteads and junctions like Shingler, providing a clear record of South Georgia's land use in the early 21st century.
