About this map

Fifteenmile Creek and Lotts Creek define the drainage of this low-lying landscape where Bulloch, Candler, Emanuel, and Jenkins Counties converge. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small water bodies and wetlands, including Hendley Pond, Donaldson Lake, and Bowen Lake. The road network consists largely of rural routes and family-named tracks like Old Boatright Road and Hendley-Proctor Road, which weave through the agricultural and wooded plots typical of this region in the early twenty-first century.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the cluster of country churches and burial grounds. The map identifies Bethel Church and its namesake Bethel Cemetery, alongside El-Bethel Church and Friendship Cemetery. Several notable river crossings are documented, such as Emmit Brown Bridge and Banks Bridge, providing essential landmarks for tracing historical movement across the wetlands and creeks that dominate the quadrangle.
