About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of South Georgia and North Florida, defining the border between Brooks and Lowndes counties. This region is characterized by its numerous small, rural congregations, including Silver Run Ch, Beulah Ch, and Ochlawilla Ch, which serve the dispersed agricultural community. The small settlement of Nankin acts as a central point for the local network of roads and paths, situated near a Gravel Pit and the Columbia Ch.

Crossing the southern portion of the map, the Watson Line marks the historic boundary between Georgia and Florida, separating Brooks and Madison counties. The terrain is dotted with low-lying water bodies like Fearnside Lake, Mud Lake, and Montgomery Pond, reflecting the limestone-heavy karst topography common to the borderlands. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of community landmarks such as Redland Cem and the shift from Redland Ch to New Redland Ch.
