About this map

The Canoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of South Georgia, serving as a natural boundary between Bryan, Evans, and Liberty counties. The settlement of Willie and the outskirts of Pembroke anchor the eastern and southern portions of the map, while the interior is defined by riverine geography. Prominent terrain features along the water include Clifton Bluff, Edwards Rocks, and Simmons Point, which provide local landmarks in an area dominated by low-lying wetlands like Brushy Island.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Moody Cem, Jerusalem Cem, and Salem Cem near the river, and Elarbee Cem and Strum Bay Cem further south. The map documents the local road network connecting these points, including Moody Bridge Rd and Ga-119, illustrating the rural connectivity of the region in the early 21st century.
