2014 Map of Climax North

About this map

Climax serves as the primary settlement hub along the southern border of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Attapulgus Cr. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and depressions, including Cane Water Pond, Black Lake, and the expansive Big Slough that cuts across the northwestern corner. Family-named roads like Eddie Avery Rd and Rob Dollar Rd suggest a long-standing rural community structure, while the presence of numerous small burying grounds such as Mars Hill Cem, Arline Cem, and New Fountainhead Cem provides valuable data for genealogical research. Scattered landings and locales like Parker Courthouse and Camp Flats highlight the distributed nature of local life in this part of Georgia, where the border between Decatur Co and Grady Co runs through a landscape of pine-fringed ponds and sluggish creek bottoms.
