About this map

Brooksville and the surrounding Randolph County countryside are defined by a dense network of tributaries that feed the regional watershed. Watercourses like Little Ichawaynochaway Cr and Soapstone Br wind through the terrain, while numerous small lakes such as Jackson Lake, Wheely Lake, and Shellhouse Lake dot the landscape. This 2017 survey reveals a rural infrastructure still rooted in historic land divisions and family-named landmarks.

Evidence of local history is found at the Margus Cem near the center of the quadrangle and at the settlement of Pachitla, where a Railroad St and Peavy Rd meet near the southern boundary. The presence of the Flint River Girl Scout Lake suggests the area's use for recreation and youth organization camps, while the naming of Pittmans Mill Br and Collins-Mill Cr points to a legacy of water-powered industry in this part of Georgia.
