About this map

Lake Park serves as a central hub in this landscape of the Georgia-Florida borderlands, characterized by a dense concentration of small lakes and ponds. The settlement pattern follows the corridor of S Old Hwy 41, connecting the northern community of Dasher through Twin Lakes down toward the state line. This era of mapping shows the proximity of residential growth to significant water bodies like Ocean Pond, Frances Lake, and Clayton Lake, which have long defined the local geography of Lowndes County.

Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the natural drainage system is anchored by the Alapahoochee River and Grand Bay Creek, winding through the Mud Swamp area. This terrain transitions from the more developed lakefront properties in the west to the wetlands and rural expanses of Echols County. Genealogists will find the locations of Hickory Grove Cemetery and Lake Park Cemetery clearly marked, providing spatial context for family history in these tight-knit south Georgia communities.
