About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this landscape, where the agricultural plains of Grady County meet the wetlands of Leon County. This borderland is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Iamonia and the Foshalee Slough, which dominate the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain here transitions from the winding course of the Ochlockonee River in the north to a complex system of islands and arms, including Sheep Island and Strickland Arm.

Genealogists and local researchers can trace the rural communities of Beachton and Iamonia, supported by a network of established country churches and family burial grounds. Landmarks such as Beth Page Ch and the Evergreen Cem reflect the area's long-standing social fabric. The presence of the Watson Line and Beth Page Road highlights the early surveying and transportation routes that shaped this cross-border region during the mid-to-late 20th century.
