About this map

The community of Tempy serves as a central point in this rural Georgia landscape, characterized by a network of small creeks and farm-related water features. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as New Bethel Cemetery, Willis Cemetery, and Thornhill Cemetery, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, offering significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The land is drained by a complex system of waterways, including Horse Creek, Warrior Creek, and Okapilco Creek, many of which have been dammed to create local reservoirs like Lumkins Lake and Shingle Farm Service Lake.

South of the primary settlement, the small location of Powelltown sits amidst a grid of secondary roads such as Cane Mill Rd and Wrights Chapel Rd. The presence of features like Strickland Lake and Brown Lake suggests a long-standing reliance on managed water resources for local agriculture. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of Worth County at the beginning of the 2010s, preserving the locations of namesake roads and quiet rural landmarks.
