About this map

Edison serves as the primary hub of this Southwest Georgia landscape, where a dense network of county roads radiates through the agricultural terrain. The settlement of Dickey sits to the east, while Turman marks the southern reach near the confluence of local drainage basins. The area's history is deeply rooted in its small communities, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds including Saint Stevens Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Regan Cemetery.

Hydrologically, the region is defined by the winding course of Pachitla Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Pachitla Creek and Neals Creek. Significant water management features like Lake Myda Dam and Taylor Lake Dam demonstrate the development of local water resources for agricultural or recreational use. This survey provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure and land divisions that have shaped Calhoun County into the 21st century.
