About this map

The Ocmulgee River curves through the southwestern corner of this territory, defining the boundary between Pulaski and Wilcox counties near Sandy Hammock. The interior landscape is dominated by the drainages of Mosquito Creek and its various branches, creating a network of ridges and lowlands that shaped the distribution of local farmsteads. In the early 1970s, this area remained deeply rural, characterized by a high density of country churches and small family cemeteries scattered along the secondary roads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family markers, such as the Lancaster Cem, McAlister Cem, and Simmons Cem, many of which are associated with long-standing congregations at Salem Ch, Harmony Ch, and New Salem Ch. A Historical Monument stands in the northwest corner, while the eastern edge is marked by Lake Steele and a Radio Tower, reflecting the slow integration of modern infrastructure into this agricultural landscape.
