2017 Map of Ideal South

About this map

The small community of Ideal and the settlement of Fountainville anchor this 2017 survey of the agricultural landscape along the Schley Co Macon Co border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Whitewater Cr, Buck Cr, and Sand Cr, which feed into local landmarks like the English Millpond. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure, where family names are etched into the road network, as seen with Hoke Smith Ave, J B Albritton Rd, and George Hammock Rd. Genealogists may find value in the location of the English Cem and Travelers Home Church, which serve as focal points for the surrounding farmstead's history. The detailed depiction of low-lying wetlands and creek branches illustrates the traditional drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of Georgia for generations.
