2014 Map of Holt

About this map

Chickasawhatchee Creek serves as a natural boundary dividing the landscape of Calhoun and Dougherty counties. This portion of Southwest Georgia is defined by an intricate network of waterways and ponds, including Suddeth Lake and Yancey Pond, which suggest a terrain of lowland drainage and agricultural potential. Small rural communities like Gillionville, Holt, and Oak Hill are connected by a grid of named roads such as Gillionville Rd and Old Thompson Rd. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the numerous churchyards and burial sites scattered throughout the area, notably Saint Lukes Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Salem Cem. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where the placement of legacy cemeteries and older road names like Laing Dirt Rd continue to mark the historical footprint of these established farming settlements.
