2024 Map of Dogtown

About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this landscape, marking the transition between Decatur and Gadsden counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Betts Mill Creek and Willacoochee Creek, which weave through a rural patchwork of small-scale aviation at Viola Farm Airport and sprawling agricultural interests. The settlement at Dogtown serves as a primary local focal point, though the map's true depth lies in its dense record of historic church and cemetery sites. Notable locations such as the Lost and Forgotten Cem and Old Philadelphia Missionary Baptist Church Cem provide essential data points for local genealogy and land-use history. The presence of numerous African Methodist Episcopal sites, including the Mount Olive African Methodist Episcopal Cem, highlights the enduring cultural and religious geography established across this borderland region.
