2015 Map of Dogtown

About this map

Willacoochee Creek and Betts Mill Creek define the drainage of this rural borderland between Georgia and Florida, where agricultural life and family legacy are deeply intertwined. The settlement of Dogtown sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, surrounded by several family-named burial grounds like Taylor Cem and Owens Cem. The landscape is etched with a network of local roads such as Bettstown Road and Donalson Farm Road, connecting isolated homesteads and small family farms. An interesting industrial and transport feature is the Viola Farm Airport, a private airstrip located near Viola Farm Road. The survey also documents the historical presence of several religious and community sites, including Mount Calvary Cem and Hebron Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogists tracing lineage across the Gadsden and Decatur county lines.
