2017 Map of Clyattville

About this map

The Withlacoochee River defines the southern boundary of this Lowndes County landscape where the Georgia-Florida state line meets the convergence of Brooks, Madison, and Hamilton counties. The settlement of Clyattville sits at the center of a drainage network characterized by Mud Swamp, Bear Garden Swamp, and several large lakes, including the Owens-Illinois Corporation Lake. This area reflects a mid-20th-century transition toward industrial land use and aviation, evidenced by the presence of the Estherbrook Aerodrome and Bird Field. Local history and genealogy are anchored by scattered burial grounds such as Hunter Cem, Lane Cem, and Forest Grove Cem. The map traces the winding paths of Lanes Mill Cr and Cluatt Mill Cr as they feed into the larger river system, illustrating the hydrology that historically dictated the region's development and transport routes.
