2011 Map of Beall Springs

About this map

Beall Springs and the surrounding rural landscape of Glascock County are defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small creek-side settlements. The drainage patterns of Rocky Comfort Creek and its many tributaries, such as Acy Branch and Joes Creek, historically dictated the placement of homesteads and burial grounds. For genealogists, this 2011 survey is a crucial resource for locating specific family sites, including the Martha Ellen English Cemetery, McCrary Cemetery, and the Pate Cemetery. The map captures a transition from traditional agrarian crossroads like Downs and Blume to a more modern road network, while preserving the identity of historic locales like Stony Hill and Five Points. The presence of several localized dams, such as Johnsons Lake Dam, reflects the local management of water resources in this part of Georgia.
