2024 Map of Gee Pond

About this map

The boundary between Mitchell Co and Grady Co bisects a landscape defined by dramatic karst topography and agricultural drainage. This rural Georgia region is punctuated by deep depressions and subterranean drainage points, including the aptly named Devils Den, Glory Hole, and Bay Pole Sink. These natural features reveal a complex underlying geology where surface waters like Big Slough and Kelly Creek disappear into the aquifer. Family names are deeply etched into the local road network, with routes like Crutch Field Rd, Chason Rd, and Gay Hammock Rd connecting the dispersed homesteads. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous community burial grounds, such as Union Cem, Godwin Cem, and Wilder Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who have long worked this limestone-rich terrain.
