About this map

Coleman and the surrounding agricultural lands of Randolph County are defined by a network of rural crossroads and persistent family heritage sites. The landscape is drained by winding waterways such as Cemochechobee Creek and Waukeefiskee Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements like Pecan and Jones Crossing. These small communities serve as anchors for the local geography, connected by a web of county roads that have long supported the region's farming economy.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented across the quadrangle, including Shiloh Cemetery near Cotton Hill and the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery to the north. The distribution of these sites, alongside others like Singletary Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery, reflects the scattered nature of rural settlement in Southwest Georgia. The map provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between these historic landmarks and the natural drainages like Hog Creek and Caney Branch.
