About this map

Three Points serves as the primary landmark in this corner of Ware County, where the landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of the upper Suwannee River basin. The area is characterized by a complex network of "islands" and "strands"—topographical rises and slow-moving water channels typical of the Georgia coastal plain. Notable landforms such as Bush Island and Black River Island emerge from the surrounding wetlands, while Bear Belly Strand and Water Bay indicate the saturated nature of the local environment.

Transport through this watery terrain is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including Claycup Rd and Swamp Perimeter Rd. For those researching family history, the Carter Cem provides a specific point of interest near Botherment Br. The map also captures the confluence of numerous water bodies like Tom Thumb Cr and Alligator Cr, showing the headwaters that feed into larger systems like Suwannee Cr.
