About this map

Lake Iamonia dominates the southern landscape of this 1957 survey, its intricate shoreline defined by fingers like Strickland Arm and Wyche Arm. This borderland between Grady County, Georgia, and Leon County, Florida, is anchored by the Watson Line, which bisects the terrain of old plantations and rural congregations. The settlement of Beachton serves as a northern hub, surrounded by community landmarks such as Jerusalem Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch.

Evidence of shifting rural life appears in the Strickland Sch (Abandoned), while the Horseshoe Plantation Landing Field near the lake suggests the private aviation and recreational pursuits of the mid-century era. The Ochlockonee River flows through the northwest, joined by Tired Creek and Buck Creek, creating a complex drainage system through the marshy lowlands of Foshalee Slough and Anders Flat.
