2024 Map of Shellman

About this map

Shellman sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Randolph and Terrell Counties, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of south-flowing waterways. The prominent Ichawaynochaway Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Turkey Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Southwest Georgia region. The map reveals a rural social geography centered on several burial sites, such as Sand Hill Cem and First Shiloh Cem, which often serve as the remaining markers of early community hubs. To the east, the settlement of Graves is situated near Stephans Pond, illustrating the typical placement of small towns along transit corridors and water sources. A dense grid of local roads, from Melton Mill Rd to School House Rd, suggests a legacy of land division and local industry tied to the surrounding creeks.
