2024 Map of Chickasawhatchee

About this map

Chickasawhatchee Creek and its many tributaries define the drainage of this Southwest Georgia landscape, where agricultural tradition and small crossroads communities persist. The settlement of Chickasawhatchee sits in the northeast corner, while Herod occupies the central western portion, linked by rural routes like Sasser Herod Rd. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Chickasawhatchee Methodist Cem and the Green Grove Baptist Church Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle is marked by hydrological features such as Clarks Mill and the Clarks Millpond Dam, alongside named waters like Featherfield Lake and Long Pond. This modern survey documents the legacy of family landholdings and religious centers that have long shaped Terrell County, showing how the wetlands surrounding Herod Creek and Brantley Creek continue to influence local development and land use patterns.
