About this map

Lake Iamonia dominates the southern landscape of this Georgia-Florida borderland, its complex shoreline defined by reaches like Strickland Arm, Cromartie Arm, and Wyche Arm. The map documents a rural corridor along the Georgia Florida line, where family and congregational history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the New Ochlocknee Baptist Church Cem and the New Hickory Hill Primitive Baptist Church Cem.

Settlement patterns follow historic routes like Meridian Rd and Thomasville Rd, connecting small communities such as Beachton, Moncrief, and Iamonia. The northern reaches are drained by the Ochlockonee River and its tributaries, while the southern terrain is characterized by lake-bed features like Anders Flat and numerous named islands including Hall Island and Mitchell Island. The transition from the higher ground near Rocky Hill to the wetland systems of Foshalee Slough reflects a landscape managed for both timber and plantation heritage.
