About this map

Lamar and Methvins anchor this agricultural landscape in Sumter County, where the topography is defined by the drainage of Lime Cr and its tributaries as they move toward the Flint River. The 2014 survey reveals a region characterized by numerous private impoundments and family-named water bodies, including Pat Crumpton Lake, Hoke Smith Lake E, and Jimmy Greene Lake. These local landmarks, alongside the prominent Browns Millpond, suggest a legacy of land management tied to both recreation and rural industry.

Genealogists and local historians can locate community markers like Friendship Cem near the junction of Ga-195 and Lamar Rd, and Pleasant Grove Cem to the north. The road network, featuring names like Jury Clarke Rd and Buck Doster Rd, reflects the established family footprints in this portion of the Georgia coastal plain. The eastern boundary is marked by the winding course of the Flint River at the border with Dooly County.
