About this map

Piscola Creek and its various tributaries, such as Whitlock Br and Allen Br, define the hydrology of this landscape along the Thomas and Brooks county line. The settlement of Dixie serves as a central point, situated along the major corridor of Thomasville Rd and Dixie Hwy. Further east, Emerson appears as a small cluster of activity, while Pidcock and Oaklawn mark established areas to the west and north.

Genealogists will find a series of family-named cemeteries throughout the rural sections, including Ozell Cem, Robinson Cem, Groover Cem, and Beasley Cem. A curious geographical feature known as The Sinks is noted south of the main road, indicating the karst-like topography common in this region of Georgia. The map also traces numerous named local routes like Old Quitman Rd and Dixie Barwick Hwy, which have historically linked these agricultural communities.
