About this map

Plains and its surrounding countryside in southwestern Georgia are presented here at the transition between the Webster and Sumter county lines. This landscape is defined by its association with the 39th U.S. President, prominently featuring the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site and the nearby settlement of Archery, where the Carter family farm was located. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the primary corridor of Ga-27 to the many unpaved county roads that reach into the agricultural hinterlands.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous tributaries such as Kinchafoonee Creek and Choctahatchee Creek draining the terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-marked burial grounds including Lebanon Cemetery, Tabernacle Cemetery, and Mt Avery Cemetery. The presence of Youngs Millpond and Hagerson Lake indicates a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and historical water management for local industry or recreation.
