2011 Map of Bethany

About this map

Mimsville and the crossroads of Bethany anchor this agricultural region of southwest Georgia at the start of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads and drainage systems, including the meandering Ichawaynochaway Creek and Alligator Creek in the north, while Big Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek dominate the southern reaches. These waterways slice through a mosaic of farm plots and timber stands, typical of the coastal plain's river-fed geography. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the quadrangle, such as the Smith Cemetery near Crestview and the Stephen Bush Cemetery centrally located off Julia Jones Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, from the County Hwy-123 corridor to the numerous small roads like Gary Hudson Rd and Will White Rd that connect the isolated homesteads and farms of Baker County.
