2011 Map of Needmore

About this map

Suwannoochee Creek and its many tributaries, including Cowhouse Branch, dominate this landscape in southern Echols County. The small settlement of Needmore serves as a central point in a network of rural roads with evocative names like Gopher Lope Rd and Cabbage Head Rd. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape defined by its hydrology, where numerous branches and breaks feed into larger systems like the Suwannee River at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Points of passage across the wetlands are noted by features such as Mattox Ford and Double Bridges. The presence of several camps, such as Pierce Camp and Weatherington Camp, alongside Log Landing, suggests a modern land use still deeply tied to the timber and natural resources of the Georgia pine woods and river basins.
