About this map

Preston serves as the seat of Webster County, anchored by the Webster County Courthouse near the junction of several rural routes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Kinchafoonee Cr, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Clear Cr and Mud Creek. This area of southwestern Georgia maintains a dispersed settlement pattern characterized by family burial grounds and small community landmarks, such as Lowrey Cem and Poplar Springs Cem.

Water management and local agriculture are evident through features like Bankston Lake, Wilson Lake, and Lake Doris. The road network, including the historic Washington St and various county roads like Bethlehem Church Rd, reveals the connectivity between these isolated farmsteads and the central village. The naming of Harrel Mill Creek points to the area's earlier processing history along the local waterways.
