2017 Map of Red Store Crossroads

About this map

Red Store Crossroads serves as a central waypoint in a landscape defined by the drainage basins of Cooleewahee Cr and Alligator Cr. This area of Southwest Georgia is characterized by a remarkable density of limestone sinks and ponds, such as Big Cypress Lake, Windmill Pond, and Alligator Pond, which suggest the complex subterranean karst topography typical of the region. The map reveals a pattern of rural land use centered around large holdings, most notably the Pinebloom Plantation Airport. Scattered family and community history is preserved in small burial sites across the terrain, including Trinity Cem, Clifton Cem, and Tarva Cem. Roadways like Newton Rd and Colquitt Ford Rd connect these isolated landmarks across the transition from Dougherty to Baker counties.
