About this map

Boykin serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of southwest Georgia, situated along the corridor of Us-27. The map illustrates a dense network of family and community history markers, particularly through its numerous burial grounds such as Pond Town Cem, Mothers Home Cem, and Whites Bridge Cem. These sites, often located near small crossroads like Babcock or Eldorendo, suggest a long-standing pattern of rural settlement and social organization centered around local congregations and family plots.

Water plays a defining role in the local geography, with Spring Creek and Big Drain cutting through the terrain. The presence of Durham Park near Lane Cem and several ponds like Holder Pond indicates a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and intentional land use. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between Miller, Seminole, and Decatur counties, revealing how property lines and roads like Ga-310 and White Bridge Rd have historically connected these disparate farming communities.
