About this map

The Chickasawhatchee Cr drainage system dominates the landscape of this Southwest Georgia region, where the borders of Dougherty, Calhoun, and Terrell Counties converge. The small settlements of Holt, Gillionville, and Oak Hill are connected by a network of rural routes, including the historically named Old Tallassee Trail Rd and Gillionville RD. These communities are defined by their proximity to various watercourses like Spring Creek and Tallassee Cr, which feed into the wider wetlands and tributaries of the area.

Local genealogy and history are preserved through several scattered burial sites, such as Saint Paul Cem near Holt and Saint Lukes Cem further north. The map also records smaller landmarks like Suddeth Lake and the various branches—Vincey Br, Willow Br, and Market Br—that illustrate the intricate hydrology of the coastal plain. The distribution of these features reveals a long-standing agricultural and timber-based landscape, where old road names like Old Thompson RD hint at earlier property lines and family holdings.
