2014 Map of Howell

About this map

The Alapaha River forms a winding corridor through this section of southern Georgia, defining much of the border between Lanier and Echols counties. This 2014 survey documents a rural landscape where the small settlements of Howell and Mayday serve as local hubs for a network of county roads including Valentine Rd and Howell Rd. The terrain is deeply influenced by slow-moving water, with numerous tributaries such as Pindar Cr and Rentz Br feeding into the river system. Family and community heritage is grounded in several rural burial grounds, including Unity Cem, Wetherington Cem, and Carter Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also highlights the transition from Lowndes to Echols County, capturing the enduring rural character of the region near the Florida border.
