About this map

Lake Seminole dominates this landscape where the Chattahoochee River defines the border between Georgia and Florida. The creation of the reservoir altered the local topography, yet the map preserves the locations of established riverfront points like Butlers Ferry Landing and Parramore Landing. Inland, a dense network of smaller water bodies such as Boran Lake and Hettie Pond pepper the terrain, reflecting the wet, low-lying character of the region.

Genealogical interest is high in this quadrangle, as several family-named burial grounds and churches are documented. From Trawick Cem near Fairchild to the Robinson Cem and Galilee Ch, the map records the community anchors of rural Seminole and Jackson Counties. Recreational development is evident through the presence of Fairchild State Park and Three Rivers State Park, which flank the central waterway.
