2011 Map of Howell

About this map

The Alapaha River meanders through the eastern portion of this landscape, its path joined by numerous tributaries including Howell Branch and Connell Branch. This agricultural and timber-producing region of Echols County is anchored by the small settlements of Howell and Mayday in the east, with Blanton situated further west. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as Old Statenville Rd and Camp Langdale Rd that connect family holdings and community centers. For those documenting local genealogy, several significant sites are preserved on this record, including the Unity Cemetery, Wetherington Cemetery, and Carter Cemetery near Martin Branch. The presence of Unity Church in the northwest corner suggests the longstanding social centers of this rural community, while the drainage patterns of Grand Bay Creek and Meetinghouse Branch define the low-lying terrain character of south Georgia.
