About this map

The Ochlockonee River meanders across this borderlands landscape, defining the transition between the Georgia and Florida countryside. This survey captures a rural network of family-held land and community burial grounds, such as Gainey Cemetery and Williams Cemetery, which anchor the small settlements of Calvary and Pine Hill. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Iamonia and the Meridian community, where the terrain softens into the lake basin.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and local aviation history appears at the Rutten Dusting Strip, while the winding courses of Shaw Creek and Bryants Mill Creek feed into the river system. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including the Barber Cemetery, Butler Cemetery, and Lamonia Cemetery, tracing the lineage of families settled between Concord and the river banks. The map also records early infrastructure such as Fairbanks Ferry Rd, hinting at historical crossing points on the Ochlockonee River.
