About this map

The Ochlockonee River defines the central topography of this Georgia landscape, winding southward toward the Confederate Bridge. Scattered rural settlements and crossroads communities like Merrillville, Fredonia, and Pasco are connected by a network of named country roads, including Egg and Butter Rd S and Fredonia Church Dirt Rd. The area is notably dense with burial grounds of genealogical significance, including Saint Georges Cemetery, Springhill Cemetery, and Little Ochlocknee Cemetery.

Water management is evident through features such as the Griffin Lake Dam and Searcy Lake Dam, while the presence of the Thomasville Municipal Airport and Merrillville Poultry Farms indicates the local economic drivers of the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of family-named landmarks and the drainages of Coon Creek and Good Water Creek, essential for tracing local history and land use in this part of Georgia.
