2020 Map of Wilsonville

About this map

Seventeen Mile River and its surrounding wetlands dominate the southern landscape of this Georgia territory near the border of Coffee and Ware counties. The settlement of Wilsonville serves as a central point for a network of rural roads, many bearing local family names that suggest a deep genealogical history, such as Jasper Tanner Rd, Edison Walker Rd, and Linton Carter Rd. This rural layout is punctuated by numerous small burial grounds, including Hollis Cem in the northeast and Roxie Mae Cem to the southeast. The hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Dry Cr and Twentynine Mile Cr, illustrating the low-lying, water-rich environment characteristic of this South Georgia region. The map captures a landscape where agriculture and timber interests are integrated with long-established family homesteads and private cemeteries.
