2017 Map of Plains

About this map

The Jimmy Carter National Historic Site anchors the southern half of this landscape, encompassing areas near the settlements of Plains and Archery. This region on the border of Webster County and Sumter County is characterized by a series of north-south flowing watercourses, including Kinchafoonee Cr and Choctahatchee Cr, which drain the agricultural land between rising ridges. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Avery Cem and Lebanon Cem. While the town of Plains shows a concentrated street grid around W Main St and Hospital St, the surrounding countryside is defined by landmarks like Magnolia Spring and Youngs Millpond, reflecting a rural economy tied closely to the land's hydrology and the legacies of the families who settled here.
