2020 Map of Cotton

About this map

The agrarian communities of Cotton and Hinsonton anchor this South Georgia landscape, situated within the drainage basins of the Little Ochlockonee River and Lost Cr. This contemporary topographic record reveals a region defined by its rural road network and namesake agricultural heritage, where routes like Tomato Rd, Produce Rd, and Stage Coach Rd reflect a long history of local commerce and transport. The map is punctuated by numerous family-named water bodies, including Rigsby Lake, Willingham Lake, and Connell Lake, alongside smaller tributaries like Thigpen Br. For genealogists, the presence of several established burial grounds such as Akridge Cem, Zion Hill Cem, and Liberty Hill Cem provides critical points of reference for family history research. The layout of the landscape, characterized by small settlements like Pebble City and Laney, demonstrates the persistent rural character of Mitchell County.
