About this map

Kinchahoonee Creek dominates the lowlands of this West Georgia landscape, where the borders of Webster, Sumter, and Terrell counties converge. In the early 1970s, the area remained deeply rural, defined by a network of dispersed country churches and small farming communities such as Bottsford and Pleasant Hill. The topographical data reveals a transition from the upland ridges, where settlements like St Marks Ch are situated, down to the wetlands surrounding the creek and its tributaries like Ty Ty Creek and Bear Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including several named houses of worship like New Lebanon Ch, New Hope Ch, and St Lukes Ch. The presence of the S C L railroad line and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain highlights the infrastructure supporting the region's agricultural economy. This survey provides a precise look at the land use and property boundaries before significant modern development altered these rural corridors.
