2024 Map of Strouds

About this map

The boundary lines of Upson, Lamar, and Monroe Counties converge in this rural Georgia landscape, where the headwaters of Little Tobesofkee Creek and Echeconnee Creek carve through the terrain. The small community of Strouds sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the sheet, while Redbone and Brent anchor the north. A legacy of multi-generational settlement is evident in the high density of family and congregational burial grounds, including the Pierson Family Cem, Sheran Home Smith Cem, and Sugarhill Church Cem. The landscape is defined by its water resources, with numerous named impoundments such as Pierson Lake, Mangham Lake, and Abercrombie Lake supporting local agriculture and recreation. The Little Tobesofkee Creek Ranch Airport provides a rare modern transportation marker amidst a network of rural routes like Lundy Dairy Rd and Clements Ford Rd that follow the area's natural contours.
