About this map

Calhoun is the primary settlement on this landscape, situated at a junction of roads and the local drainage network of Ballards Creek. The terrain is defined by low-lying elevations, with Skidl Hill and the Gilmer Hills rising above a series of wetlands and small water bodies. Water management is a central feature of the area, evidenced by numerous named impoundments such as Hammond Lake, Collins Lake, and Midfield Lake, alongside structures like the Ben Spear Dam and the Hammond Number One Dam.

Genealogical interest is anchored by the Salem Cemetery, located west of the central settlement near the headwaters of Fort Deposit Creek. The road network, including Co Hwy 37 and Bishop Bottom Rd, connects these rural properties and water features. This map documents a quiet, creek-fed portion of Lowndes County where family-named landmarks like Hartleys Pond and Moore Pond mark the long-standing agricultural and residential footprint of the community.
