About this map

Hawkinstown and Elmodel anchor this Baker County landscape, where the hydrology of Southwest Georgia is on full display. The area is defined by the winding course of Ichawaynochaway Creek and its confluence with Chickasawhatchee Creek, creating a complex network of wetlands and namesake basins. The map reveals a specific cultural geography through its naming of numerous small water bodies, such as Baptizing Pond, Ginghouse Pond, and Bristol Pond.

Land use patterns are visible through the distribution of agricultural tracts like Grassy Flat and Richardson Flat, alongside a network of rural routes including Travelers Rest Rd and Red Rhodes Rd. This survey documents the intersection of rural life and the natural aquifer-fed environment, recording the exact placement of local roads and family-named landmarks that shape this agricultural corridor.
