About this map

The Ware County Courthouse serves as the civic anchor for Waycross, where the urban grid meets the sprawling wetlands of the Wiregrass Region. This landscape is defined by the winding course of the Satilla River and the transition into dense lowlands like Pike Swamp, Boggy Bay, and Duboise Bay. These natural features have long dictated the expansion of the city and its outlying communities, including Sunnyside, Hebardville, and Deenwood.

Transport corridors like Memorial Dr and Central Ave push outward toward the rural southeast, passing local landmarks such as Bivins Airport and several historic burial grounds. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Oakland Cem, Hazzard Hill Cem, and Thomas Cem. Further southeast, the settlements of Astoria and Braganza mark the rail and road connections through the piney woods toward the Brantley County line.
