2020 Map of Dixie

About this map

Dixie serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, situated along the CSX Transportation railroad and the Thomasville Rd corridor. The geography is defined by a complex network of intermittent water bodies and unusual karst-like depressions, most notably The Sinks and the seasonal basin of Dry Lake. Small agrarian settlements like Pidcock and Oaklawn are connected by a dense web of local roads, many bearing family names that reflect the area's genealogical history, such as Coleman Rd, Simpson Rd, and Boles Rd. Numerous small burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including Beasley Cem and Groover Cem, providing specific points of interest for researchers tracing local lineage. The drainage patterns of Piscola Creek and its various branches like Carroll Br and Pride Br weave through the fields, illustrating the hydraulic character of the Thomas and Brooks county line.
