2024 Map of Pine Park

About this map

The Ochlockonee River flows through this corner of Southwest Georgia, carving a wide valley between the settlements of Pine Park and the western outskirts of Thomasville. The landscape is defined by its historic landholdings and extensive plantation grounds, which preserve a unique genealogy through several distinct burial sites. Beyond the primary Pine Park Cem, the area contains several smaller, private grounds including the Greenwood Plantation Cem and the Pebble Hill Plantation Family Cem. Most notably, the Pebble Hill Workers Cem reflects the social and labor history of these large estates. Significant water bodies such as Melrose Plantation Lake and Winstead Plantation Lake suggest a long history of land management and water control in the region. The boundary between Grady and Thomas counties bisects the western half of the map, following a series of straight-line surveyor marks across Barnetts Creek and Lees Creek.
