About this map

The Satilla River and its confluence with the Seventeen Mile River dominate this landscape in Ware County, Georgia. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a rural area defined by its waterways and small communities like Talmo and Fairfax. The presence of several Sandpit locations along the river banks points to the local extractive industry of the early 1970s.

Genealogists can trace a network of family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including the Chauncey Cem, Walden Cem, and Hasty Cem. Country churches such as Newborn Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Friendship Ch are scattered across the terrain, connected by a mix of light-duty roads and a Jeep Trail. To the south, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs through Sappville, anchoring the southern edge of the quadrangle.
