2014 Map of Irwins Crossroads

About this map

The Ohoopee River winds south through the borderlands of Washington and Johnson counties, defining the character of this rural Georgia landscape. The map centers on the small hub of Irwins Crossroads and the settlement at Peacocks Crossing, where local travel is anchored by historic river crossings like Masseys Mill Bridge, Harts Ford Bridge, and Daniel Bridge. The distribution of rural cemeteries such as Old Bethesda Cem, Bethany Cem, and Mt Gilead Cem reflects generations of family settlements along the various branches and creeks, including Little Buckeye Cr and Dyers Cr. Numerous ponds, such as Hodges Pond, Turners Pond, and Morgans Pond, are scattered across the terrain, indicating a landscape heavily integrated with local agriculture and water management. This 2014 survey documents the enduring road network, from state routes like Ga-15 to local passages like Wommack Ln and Bertha Martin Rd, that connects these dispersed farmsteads and historic family landmarks.
