2011 Map of Ideal South

About this map

The town of Ideal sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in Macon County, where a network of rural roads connects scattered homesteads and water resources. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Buck Creek and Camp Creek, which drain the lowlands of central Georgia. Near the settlement of Fountainville, the landscape reveals a history of local land use at English Millpond and the nearby English Cemetery, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracking families in this area. To the northeast, the impounded waters of Kennedy Lake are held by the Kennedy Lake Dam, marking a point of modification along Whitewater Creek. Many routes through the quadrangle bear family names such as Gene Wilburn Rd, Jake Smith Rd, and Ralph Smith Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted personal history and lineage of the surrounding farms.
