About this map

The intersection of Lamar, Monroe, and Upson counties creates a landscape of deeply engraved creek valleys and family-held landholdings. Small settlements such as Strouds and Redbone anchor the rural road network, while the northeastern corner is defined by the community of Brent. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including the Sheran-Horne-Smith Cem, Harris Cem, and Sardis Cem, providing significant detail for those researching the region's lineage.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Echeconnee Cr and Little Tobesofkee Cr winding through the terrain. Evidence of modern land use appears at the Little Tobesofkee Creek Ranch Airport and various reservoirs like Pippin Lake and Pierson Lake. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural settlements to more modern water management structures, such as Tobesofkee Creek Structure Number 70, all set against a backdrop of historic county boundaries.
