About this map

Bellwood sits at a geographic crossroads in Geneva County, anchored by the Choctawhatchee River and a network of named creek systems. The landscape is defined by its water management and drainage, featuring numerous family-named impoundments such as J A Hughes Lake, Lake Fox, and Jimmy Henderson Pond. These water bodies and their associated dams, like Ted Sketo Dam, suggest a long-standing reliance on local hydrology for agriculture or recreation.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers including Bellwood Cemetery, Consolation Cemetery, Sardis Cemetery, and Cool Springs Cemetery. The presence of the Bellwood Post Office and the settlement of Scranton highlight established rural communities, while the name Rail Road Bed Rd preserves the memory of former transportation corridors. Small-scale landmarks like Camp Wiregrass further emphasize the area's rural character as it appeared in the early 21st century.
