About this map

Benevolence and the surrounding agricultural lands of Southwest Georgia are defined by a complex network of waterways that eventually feed the Flint River basin. This survey documents the headwaters of the W Fork Ichawaynochaway Cr and the Little Ichawaynochaway Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous named branches like Watts Gin Br and Summerford Br. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local history, anchored by the Benevolence Baptist Church and the crossroads at Brooksville and Troutman.

The landscape is crisscrossed by roads that often bear the names of early resident families, such as Marvin Wright Rd, Freeman Rd, and Kimbrough Rd. In the northwest corner, Singer Pond and Singer Bridge mark a distinct point along Pataula Cr. This detailed record captures the rural character of Randolph, Webster, and Stewart counties, where old cemeteries like Sardis Cem remain as quiet landmarks of the region's heritage.
