2020 Map of Tempy

About this map

Tempy and Powelltown anchor this agricultural landscape in Worth County, where the headwaters of several significant South Georgia drainages originate. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creeks and small lakes, including the Little Ochlockonee River, Okapilco Cr, and Warrior Cr, which move through the low-lying areas. Numerous family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Gordy New Bethel Cem and Thornhill Cem, suggesting a long-standing pattern of rural settlement tied to the land. Larger water bodies like Sizemore Lake and Sumner Lake appear in the northern section, while the southern reaches are marked by Shingle Farm Service Lake and Carter Lake. The road network, featuring routes like Old State Rte 33 and Cane Mill Rd, connects these small communities and isolated homesteads across the drainage divides.
