2011 Map of Martins Crossroads

About this map

Pachitla Creek and its many tributaries, including Goffs Mill Creek and Carter Creek, dominate this rural Randolph County landscape. The mapping of Goffs Mill and Shivers Mill points to a history of water-powered industry that once supported local agriculture. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape of dispersed farmsteads and small crossroads communities, most notably Martins Crossroads in the northeast. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the detailed plotting of the Damascus Baptist Church Cemetery and New Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery. The presence of small private aviation infrastructure like Grubbs Airport alongside numerous managed water bodies such as Curry Lake and Williams Lake reflects the modern land use patterns of this agricultural region in Southwest Georgia.
