About this map

Ohoopee River and its numerous tributaries, including Buckeye Creek and Dyers Creek, dominate this rural landscape in central Georgia. The area is defined by a network of local roads such as Old Savannah Rd and New Tennille Rd, which connect small agricultural settlements and historic crossings. Family names are preserved throughout the terrain, marking several historic river crossings like Masseys Mill Bridge, Harts Ford Bridge, and Daniel Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds. Old Bethesda Cemetery, Bridges Cemetery, and Waters Cemetery are among several sites that point to the long-standing community roots in the vicinity of Irwins Crossroads and Peacocks Crossing. The map also details numerous small impoundments and ponds, such as Andrews Pond and Hodges Pond, which are characteristic of the region’s drainage and land-use patterns.
