About this map

Pineland serves as a central hub in this landscape of southern Georgia, where a network of county roads and local lanes like Pineland Rd and New Shanty Rd connect dispersed settlements and crossing points. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Suwannoochee Creek in the northeast and Toms Creek flowing through the southern half of the quadrangle. Significant water-related features and fords, such as Brown Ford and Martha Johns Ford, suggest the importance of specific creek crossings for local travel and commerce.

The presence of the Georgia Sink in the southwest corner indicates a complex karst drainage system characteristic of the region. Local nomenclature like Turner Break and Brack Break points to specific variations in the terrain or vegetation, while names like Gopher Lope and Fales Steel Rd provide genealogical clues for researchers tracing the families and industries that shaped this part of Echols County in the early 21st century.
