About this map

The Terrell County seat of Dawson serves as the focal point for this Southwest Georgia study, situated at the intersection of several regional routes including Co RD 157 and Co RD 71. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and a dense network of local roads such as Hoods Store Rd and Jones Mill Rd that connect the main town to smaller outlying settlements like Yeomans and Oakville. Water features are prominent throughout the region, with the winding Chickasawhatchee Cr and Mossy Cr cutting through the terrain alongside numerous named bodies of water like Chamblis Lake and Belmar Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the quadrangle. From the central Cedar Hill Cem and Pineview Cem in the town limits to more rural sites like Sardis Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Zion Cem, these landmarks provide critical anchors for tracing local heritage. The presence of Young Field and the Dawson Sewage Pond reflect the modern infrastructure supporting this rural hub.
