About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad cuts through the northern landscape of this Southwest Georgia territory, passing the small settlement of Bermuda. Much of the quadrangle is defined by the complex hydrology of the Chickasawhatchee Creek system and Spring Creek, where the terrain transitions into a dense network of wetlands with evocative names like Hellgate Swamp, Reynolds Swamp, and the curious 42d Street Swamp.

Genealogical interest is centered on several rural community hubs, including the Mt Pleasant Ch and its accompanying Mt Pleasant Cem, as well as Mt Mary Ch and Mole Grove Ch near the southern boundary. These sites, along with the Mayhall Cem, provide essential anchor points for tracing family histories in the rural reaches of Baker, Calhoun, and Dougherty counties during the mid-1970s. The presence of Blue Spring and Red Bluff Picnic Area suggests the local importance of these water features for recreation and resource management in this heavily forested riverine environment.
