2018 Map of Townsend

About this map

The Sucarnoochee River flows through the southern reaches of this Kemper County landscape, creating a complex drainage network where Straight Cr and Snoody Cr meet the main channel. The settlement of Townsend and the nearby locale of Carters serve as the primary human focal points, situated north of Sucarnoochee Hill. For those tracing local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Antioch Cem, Cherry Cem, and Felton Cem, which are linked by a web of rural roads such as Old Dekalb Scooba Rd and Joe Persons Rd. The terrain is defined by numerous creek branches, including Big Scooba Cr, Flat Scooba Cr, and Little Scooba Cr, illustrating the well-watered nature of this timber and agricultural region. Extensive roads managed by the local timber industry, including several segments of Weyerhaeuser Rd, crisscross the area between Hoppers Lake and the river valley.
