2017 Map of Beachton

About this map

Lake Iamonia and its intricate northern shorelines dominate this landscape where the Georgia-Florida state line divides Grady and Leon counties. The topography shifts from the wetlands of Anders Flat and Foshalee Slough to the prominent rise of Rocky Hill near the Ochlocknee River. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the crossroads of Beachton and Moncrief, which are connected by historic corridors like Meridian Rd and Thomasville Rd. Genealogists can trace family heritage through numerous burial grounds, including New Ochlocknee Cem and Van Brunt Cem, while local historians can examine the complex finger-like bays of the lake, such as Wych Arm and Strickland Arm, which define the water-bound economy and geography of the border region.
