2014 Map of Shellman

About this map

The town of Shellman serves as the primary hub in this southwest Georgia landscape, situated along the Us-82 corridor. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Ichawaynochaway Cr and its tributary Little Ichawaynochaway Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside Turkey Cr and Wolf Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local landmarks and burial sites, including the Rehoboth Church Cem west of town and the remote Pierces Chapel Cem in the north. The small settlement of Graves sits on the eastern edge of the survey, connected by a lattice of named rural routes like Jones Mill Rd and Melton Mill Rd. These roads and several named impoundments, such as McGills Pond and Stephens Pond, illustrate a long-standing agricultural and water-dependent economy that persists into the early 21st century.
