2011 Map of Elmodel

About this map

Hawkinstown and Elmodel anchor this southwestern Georgia landscape, where agricultural land is defined by a unique network of lime sinks and seasonal ponds. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the winding paths of Chickasawhatchee Creek and Ichawaynochaway Creek, which create natural boundaries between the grid of rural roads. These water bodies often bear names reflecting local utility and community traditions, such as Ginhouse Pond and Baptizing Pond, while the presence of Grassy Flat and Richardson Flat indicates the characteristic low-lying terrain of the region.
