2011 Map of Dawson

About this map

Dawson serves as the focal point of this Terrell County landscape, where the town’s grid is bordered by numerous agricultural and water-management features. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of named creeks and managed reservoirs, including Chickasawhatchee Creek and Brantley Creek, which feed into local basins such as Belmar Lake and Chamblis Lake. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several well-spaced burial grounds like Saint Pauls Cemetery and Zion Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Yeomans and Oakville. The presence of the Cocke Fish Hatchery and Hayes Airport further indicates a mix of specialized land use and transportation infrastructure. This era of the landscape shows a mature rural infrastructure where industrial and municipal features, such as the Dawson Sewage Pond, exist alongside long-established family-named rural roads and farmland.
