2017 Map of Bancroft

About this map

Bancroft and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Southwest Georgia are defined by a sophisticated network of waterways and rural corridors along the border of Early and Calhoun counties. The terrain is notably dissected by Spring Creek, which flows south through the center of the sheet, joined by specifically numbered tributaries like Number Seven Branch and Number Five Br. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape shaped by both large-scale landholdings and historical family-named roads, with the Kolomoki Plantation Lake serving as a significant landmark in the northern portion of the quadrangle. For those studying local land use and genealogy, the map provides precise locations for named landmarks like Lee Br and Bancroft Station Ln, preserving the spatial relationships of these rural communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
