About this map

Moody Air Force Base dominates the northern reaches of this Lowndes County landscape, situated near the small community of Barretts. This modern topographic survey illustrates the intersection of military infrastructure and the sprawling wetlands of the coastal plain. Much of the eastern portion of the map is defined by the significant expanse of Grand Bay and Peters Bay, where the drainage of Grand Bay Creek and Meetinghouse Br shapes the terrain.

South of the base, the suburban expansion of Valdosta and the settlement of Bemiss are clearly visible, punctuated by local landmarks like Mallory Field. Researchers will find important genealogical markers such as Antioch Cem and Hightower Cem, along with smaller communities like Delmar near the Lanier County line. The map captures the region's character as it balances active aviation facilities with the quiet, persistent hydrology of the Georgia bay system.
