2011 Map of Beachton

About this map

Lake Iamonia and the Ochlockonee River define this Georgia-Florida borderland, where several smaller settlements and family-named landmarks mark the transition from river plains to higher ground. The map details the rural character of the region near Beachton and Moncrief, showing a landscape dotted with historically significant burial grounds such as New Ochlockonee Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Van Brunt Cemetery. To the west, the river system is fed by Buck Creek and Hadley Creek, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the islands and points of the lake, including Lester Island, Sheep Island, and Mitchell Point. The network of roads, including Hadley Ferry Rd and Meridian Rd, suggests a long history of overland travel connecting these border communities. To the east, Foshalee Slough and Carns Pond further illustrate the water-rich geography of this low-lying area.
