2014 Map of Vada

About this map

Mount Pleasant and Vada anchor this South Georgia landscape along the border of Mitchell and Decatur Counties. The terrain is defined by unique karst features typical of the region, including Big Rock Sink, Little Rock Sink, and a broad low-lying area known simply as The Level. Agricultural life is reflected in the extensive network of local roads such as Peanut Rd, Oak Grove Rd, and Swindell Rd, which connect rural homesteads and family sites like Brock Cem. The persistence of local aviation is evident through both Anderson Airport and Vada Airport. Water drainage is primarily captured by Big Slough, while Avery Pond provides a localized water source amidst the surrounding timber and farm plots. This survey captures a moment of modern rural continuity where traditional family landmarks remain central to the geography.
