2017 Map of Coleman

About this map

Coleman and the surrounding rural landscape of Randolph and Clay Counties are defined by a network of creeks and ridge-top settlements. The topography is shaped by significant watercourses including Cemochechobee Cr, Waukefiskee Cr, and Hog Creek, which carve through the terrain between prominent high points like Hunters Rdg. This 2017 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and community patterns of southwest Georgia, where small hubs like Cotton Hill, Bethel, and Pecan remain anchored by their local institutions. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records documented across the quadrangle, from the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cem in the northeast to the Singletary Cem near Bethel and the Shiloh Cem further north. The map also traces the winding paths of rural infrastructure such as Days Cross Rd and Cottonhill Rd, reflecting generations of land use and transit in the wiregrass region.
