2011 Map of Downs

About this map

Williamson Swamp Creek and Kittrell Creek wind through this rural landscape in central Georgia, defining a territory marked by family-named crossroads and small agricultural hubs. The settlement of Downs serves as a central point, flanked by the smaller locales of Sparks to the northwest and Halls Crossing to the southeast. For those researching local lineages, the map is heavily populated with family burial sites, including the Antioch Cemetery, John Sparks Cemetery, and Halls Cross Roads Cemetery. Water management is evident through several impoundments such as Archers Lakes, Brown Lake, and Jordan Millpond, each with its respective dam. Along the southern edge, the Chickasawhatchie Bridge crosses the marshy terrain near Heidrich Airport, while the Ogeechee River snakes along the eastern boundary, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region's low-lying basins.
