1982 Map of Beachton

About this map

The Georgia Florida state line bisects this landscape, where the northern reaches of the Red Hills transition into the wetlands surrounding Lake Iamonia. This 1982 revision shows a rural environment deeply rooted in local family and church history, evidenced by a high density of small community landmarks like Hickory Hill Ch, Beth Page Ch, and Evergreen Ch. To the north, the Ochlockonee River meanders through Grady County, joined by tributaries such as Tired Creek and Wolf Creek. The southern half is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Foshalee Slough and the numerous named islands and arms of the lake, including Sheep Island and VanBrunt Arm. This area is characterized by large rural tracts and small settlements like Beachton and Iamonia, connected by historic routes such as the Watson Line.
