2017 Map of Camilla

About this map

Camilla and Pelham serve as the primary hubs in this Mitchell County landscape, connected by a network of rural routes and established corridors like Old Pelham Rd. The area is characterized by agricultural stretches and drainage features such as Big Slough and Tuggles Sink, reflecting the unique hydrology of southwest Georgia. Local history and genealogy are preserved through several documented burial grounds, including Oakview Cem and Pinecrest Memory Gardens, which anchor the outskirts of these communities. Transport infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Camilla-Mitchell County Airport and historic river access points suggested by Baggs Ferry Rd. The placement of Howell Lake and Hand Lake near the southeastern edge highlights the localized water bodies that have historically influenced rural settlement patterns and land use between these two regional towns.
