2017 Map of Tenmile Bay

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Georgia define this landscape, where the Alapaha River meanders through a network of extensive swamps and basins. The terrain is anchored by large hydrologic features like Tenmile Bay and Tiger Bay, which historically dictated the pattern of local settlement and transport. In the northeastern corner, the small community of Glory sits along the highway, while the rest of the area is crisscrossed by a grid of rural routes. These roads, many bearing family names such as Lilla B Gaskins Rd and Willaford Jernigan Rd, reflect a long-standing agricultural and timber-based economy. The presence of Old Coffee Rd N points to the deeper historical roots of transit in Berrien County, following paths that predated modern paving. Water remains the dominant theme, from the drainage of Fivemile Cr to the quiet waters of Gaskins Pond.
