2020 Map of Fowlstown

About this map

Bainbridge sits at the northern edge of this Decatur County landscape, where residential expansion meets the dense wetlands and hydrologic networks of the Florida-Georgia borderlands. The terrain is defined by its abundant water features, ranging from the expansive Lake Seminole in the northwest to the interior depths of Fowlstown Swamp and Rich Lake. A complex system of creeks, including Ginhouse Creek, Spring Creek, and Little Attapulgus Creek, drains the rolling landscape around Curry Hill. Local history is anchored by the settlement of Fowlstown and the presence of rural burial grounds like Green Shade Cemetery and Peterson Cemetery. The map captures a transition from suburban street grids near the city to the long, rural corridors of Tallahassee Road and Fowlstown Road, reflecting the area's agricultural character and the natural barrier of the Willa-coochee Creek basin to the south.
