About this map

Harrells Still and the small settlement of Pawnee anchor this rural Grady County landscape, where the agricultural grid is broken by a series of distinct geological depressions and sinks. Named features like Glory Hole, Chambless Sink, and Waterfall Sink indicate the porous karst topography common to this region of southern Georgia. These natural features exist alongside man-made water bodies such as Gee Pond and Whigham Lake, the latter held by the Whigham Lake Dam.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, including Union Cemetery, Godwin Cemetery, and the Dollar Cemetery. The southern portion of the map is marked by the Hawthorne Trail Lookout Tower, a notable landmark near the drainage of Sapp Creek and Buss Creek. The road network, including Fathers Home Church Rd and Branchville Rd, connects these scattered homesteads and community landmarks.
