2024 Map of Cooktown

About this map

Cooktown and Bellview anchor this agricultural landscape in Southwest Georgia, situated along the border of Miller and Baker counties. This 2024 survey reveals a territory defined by small family-named landmarks and rural congregations, where the drainage of Big Cypress Creek and the waters of Cook Pond shape the terrain. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous denominational burial grounds including Springfield Baptist Church Cem, Notchaway Baptist Church Cem, and the Colquitt Mennonite Church Cem. Local roads such as Griffin Sheffield Rd and Johnny Freeman Rd crisscross the fields, connecting isolated settlements like Waycaser Corner to the wider county network. Two large tracts under the Farm Service Agency Interest of Georgia indicate significant land management and conservation efforts within the agricultural belt.
