About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad creates a sharp diagonal through this Lee County landscape, connecting the small community of Neyami with surrounding agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Muckalee Creek and its tributaries, including Muckaloochee Creek and Boggy Branch, which drain the low-lying areas characterized by numerous small ponds like Eagle Pond. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated around rural nodes such as Starksville, where a cemetery and the Shady Grove Ch are located near the creek banks.

Industrial and public land use is evident in the presence of the County Correctional Institute and a local Quarry south of Starksville. Aviation and recreation are also represented by the Clardy Landing Strip and the southern edge of Chehaw Park. Named locales like Scrutchins and Jordan Place anchor the residential landscape, while churches like Macedonia Ch and McAfee Ch provide evidence of the social foundations of this Georgia interior during the early 1970s.
