2024 Map of Tempy

About this map

Tempy and Powelltown serve as the primary landmarks in this rural Worth County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of tributaries feeding the Little Ochlockonee River. The area's genealogical depth is evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered throughout, such as Tempy Cem, Thornhill Cem, and Willis Cem. The terrain is shaped by a high density of small water bodies, including Strickland Lake and Sizemore Lake, along with named drainages like Warrior Creek and Horse Creek. These waterways and their surrounding wetlands reflect a long-standing agricultural and timber-based land use pattern. The road network, comprising routes like Oak Grove Rd and P T Salter Rd, connects isolated homesteads and historical church sites such as New Bethel Baptist Church Cem, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of South Georgia in the modern era.
