2017 Map of Bemiss

About this map

Moody Air Force Base dominates the central geography of this 2017 survey, surrounded by a landscape where military infrastructure meets the wetlands of the Georgia coastal plain. To the south, the northern reaches of Valdosta begin to transition into rural communities like Bemiss and Delmar. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of drainage and water storage, with the vast Grand Bay and Grand Bay Creek system threading through the eastern half of the quadrangle. Local history is preserved through sites such as Antioch Cem and Hightower Cem, which sit alongside established routes like Cat Creek Rd and Knights Academy Rd. The presence of small settlements like Barretts and the aviation-focused Mallory Field further highlights the mix of agricultural heritage and modern strategic operations in Lowndes County.
