2020 Map of Red Store Crossroads

About this map

Red Store Crossroads anchors this low-lying landscape along the border of Baker and Dougherty Counties, where a complex network of wetlands and creeks defines the local geography. The area is characterized by an extensive system of named ponds and sloughs, including Windmill Pond, Halls Slough, and Big Cypress Lake, which feed into larger arteries like Coheelee Cr and Alligator Cr. This saturation of the land suggests a rural economy historically tied to the water table and specialized land use, such as that seen at the Pinebloom Plantation Airport. Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Trinity Cem, Clifton Cem, and Whitehill Cem. The road network, featuring routes like Colquitt Ford Rd and Newton Rd, connects these remote homesteads and landmarks through the cypress-heavy terrain typical of southwest Georgia.
