2011 Map of Waycross SW

About this map

Three Points serves as a central junction in this corner of Ware County, where rural roads like Eight Mile Post Rd and Byrd Rd weave through a complex landscape of wetlands and timberland. The area is defined by its intricate hydrology, including the winding Alligator Creek, Suwannee Creek, and the curiously named Botherment Branch. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Carter Cemetery situated near Old Swamp Rd, providing a specific point of reference for families of the district. Distinctive terrain features rise above the surrounding lowlands, such as Bush Island and Hog Gallus Island, while historic survey markers like the Twelvemile Post and Fifteenmile Post remain as legacy landmarks of the region's early boundaries and distance measurements. The map also documents named water features like Water Bay and Bear Belly Strand, which characterize the interior drainage patterns of the South Georgia wetlands.
