2018 Map of Havana North

About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this landscape, separating the agriculture and creek basins of Decatur and Grady Counties from northern Gadsden County. In the Florida portion, the settlement of Havana anchors the southern edge, connected to northern outposts like Jamieson and Hinson via a network of rural roads such as Co Rd 159. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Attapulgus Cr and the Ochlockonee River, which creates a complex pattern of wetlands and named ponds including Frank Smith Pond and Gute Chester Pond. Numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Shelfer Cem and Griffin Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this long-settled borderland. Small aviation facilities like Saranac Farm Airport and Peavy Farms Airport reflect the modern utility of these large landholdings in a region still primarily dedicated to agriculture and forestry.
