2024 Map of Leary

About this map

The town of Leary serves as the primary hub in this southwest Georgia landscape, situated where the northern agricultural fields meet the dense wetlands of the Pachitla Creek and Ichawaynochaway Creek basins. This modern survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the area, defined by the boundary between Calhoun Co and Baker Co. Longstanding community anchors are visible in settlements like Williamsburg, Patmos, and Milford, each marked by their respective religious and burial sites. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local cemeteries, including the Patmos Free Will Baptist Church Cem and Macedonia Baptist Church Cem. The southern portion of the map highlights the traditional milling and water-based economy of the region, centered around Iveys Mill and the nearby Thompson Lake, illustrating how the waterway networks of Caney Creek and Mill Creek have shaped local settlement patterns over generations.
