About this map

Agricultural patterns and family-named landmarks define this corner of Southwest Georgia along the Miller and Baker county line. The small settlement of Cooktown serves as a central point, situated among a network of rural routes like Kimbrel Rd and Wacaser Rd. The landscape is dotted with numerous small wetlands and water features, including Cook Pond and the winding course of Big Cypress Creek in the northeast.

Local history is deeply rooted in the many burial grounds and places of worship scattered across the countryside. Genealogists can identify significant sites such as Cooks Union United Methodist Cem and the Notchaway Baptist Church Cem. Further south, the community of Bellview is marked by the Bellview Cem, while other family-named landmarks like Davis Cem and Kelley Cem offer clues to the area's long-standing residents and lineage.
