About this map

Sylvester and its surrounding communities in Worth County are defined by a landscape of agriculture and early transportation lines. The Georgia Southern and Florida Railway runs east-to-west through the heart of the area, connecting Sylvester with Poulan and providing the historical economic backbone for these settlements. The civic center is anchored by the Worth County Courthouse, around which the city's grid expands toward local landmarks like Hillcrest Cem.

Outside the main towns, the map reveals smaller settlements such as Isabella and Shingler, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Sikes Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The terrain is characterized by a network of water bodies, notably Warrior Creek and Ty Ty Creek, which drain the farmland between the clusters of residential and commercial development. These features collectively illustrate the development of south-central Georgia's rural and small-town infrastructure.
