About this map

The Shellman community and the smaller settlement of Graves anchor this southwest Georgia landscape, situated along the border of Randolph Co and Terrell Co. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the meandering Ichawaynochaway Cr and its tributary, Little Ichawaynochaway Cr, which create a complex drainage pattern across the agricultural terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds and meeting places scattered throughout the quadrangle. From the Rehoboth Church Cem near Shellman to more isolated sites like Pierces Chapel Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Sand Hill Cem, these landmarks represent the enduring social fabric of the region. The map also detail numerous small water bodies and catchments, including McGills Pond, Smiths Pond, and Stephans Pond, reflecting the area's reliance on managed water resources for its longstanding farming traditions.
