About this map

The city of Sylvester serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, sitting at the junction of major transit routes in Worth County. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and residential balance, with the city flanked by City of Sylvester Lake North and City of Sylvester Lake. To the east, the smaller town of Poulan and the community of Shingler maintain distinct identities, connected by a network of rural roads such as Isabella Terrell Rd and Hudson Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the terrain, including Hillcrest Cem near the city center and the more remote Antioch Cem to the north. The area's hydrology is characterized by numerous small water bodies like Burkett Lake and Odum Lake, and the winding paths of Horse Cr and Ty Ty Cr. These features reflect a classic South Georgia environment where small-town industry meets a creek-carved countryside.
