2011 Map of Bethel

About this map

The community of Bethel serves as the focal point of this Turner County landscape, where a network of rural roads connects several family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries in this area, including Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, Ross Cemetery, Prospects Cemetery, and Clements Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Deep Creek and Hat Creek, which are crossed by historical infrastructure such as the Geoghagan Bridge and Shivers Bridge. In the northern section, Olsens Air Park and crossings at Gorday Ford and Rainey Ford reflect the traditional transit patterns of the region. Numerous small impoundments like Smith Pond, Wells Lake, and Busseys Pond dot the landscape, illustrating the local water management and agricultural practices of the early twenty-first century.
