About this map

The Alapaha River meanders through this landscape on the border of Lowndes, Lanier, and Echols Counties, defining the drainage patterns of south Georgia. In this rural stretch, the settlement at Howell stands as a central point along N State Rte 135, while the small communities of Blanton and Mayday anchor the western and eastern portions of the quadrangle respectively. The land is heavily marked by wetlands and tributary systems such as Grand Bay Cr and Howell Br.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in scattered locations like the Wetherington Cem and Unity Cem in the northwest, and the Carter Cem near the southern boundary. The road network, including the Old Statenville Rd and Sardis Church Rd, reveals the enduring connectivity between these agricultural and timber-producing areas. These names and landmarks provide a clear look at the rural organization of the region in the late 2010s.
