2014 Map of Browns Crossing

About this map

Browns Crossing and Blandy anchor this section of Georgia, where the land is deeply carved by the waters of Fishing Creek and its many tributaries. The area is marked by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Leonard Smith Cem and Sand Hill Cem, providing significant touchpoints for genealogical research. Local religious life is centered around the Hopewell Methodist Churchyard and Salem Baptist Churchyard, which remain prominent landmarks in the rural landscape. In the northeastern corner, the map shows the edge of Milledgeville's expansion, including the Youth Development Center Lake and the Baldwin County Recreation Lake. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Ga-22 and Ga-212 into more secluded terrain along Sand Creek and Little Camp Creek, illustrating the intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional rural Georgia settlements.
