2024 Map of Benevolence

About this map

The unincorporated community of Benevolence sits at a crossroads in southern Stewart County, characterized by a landscape defined by the headwaters of the Little Ichawaynochaway Creek. This rural Georgia terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and historical congregations, such as the Benevolence Baptist Church and its accompanying Benevolence Baptist Church Cem. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the region's agricultural roots, with smaller nodes like Troutman and Brooksville connected by a network of county roads. To the north, the terrain transitions into the drainage basins of Pataula Creek and Watts Gin Branch, where the Sardis Church and Sardis Cem represent long-standing local landmarks. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of three counties—Stewart, Webster, and Randolph—tracing the property lines and natural boundaries formed by water bodies like the West Fork Ichawaynochaway Creek.
