2017 Map of Calvary

About this map

The Ochlockonee River winds through the borderlands of Georgia and Florida, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and extensive wetland systems. In the north, Calvary serves as a local hub near several family burial grounds, including Higdon Cem and Piedmont Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the upland ridges of Georgia into the lake-strewn basin of Florida, where Lake Iamonia and H.H. Swisher Pond dominate the southern topography. This area is a complex of county lines and survey townships, where Gadsden Co and Leon Co meet along the river’s path. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by names like Rutten Airstrip and a network of named trails such as Lower Hawthorne Trl. Genealogists will find a high density of documented cemeteries like Elkins Cem and Barber Cem scattered near the old community of Concord, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of this interstate corridor.
