About this map

Chastain sits at the heart of this landscape where the Ochlockonee River and its tributary, the Little Ochlockonee River, define the local topography. This 2017 survey reveals a rural network of roads and family-named landmarks that have persisted through generations of South Georgia history. The settlement pattern is anchored by local burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem and Union Hill Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in the area.

Crossing points like Rocky Ford Bridge and Watson Bridge highlight the historical importance of river access in Thomas and Colquitt counties. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water such as Griffin Lake, Bannister Lake, and Lukes Pond, illustrating the region's characteristic hydrology. Notable thoroughfares like Mitchell Co Line Rd and Zion Grove Church Rd connect the various farms and homesteads that populate this agricultural corridor.
