OK...That's all good and I thank everybody for the Local information to a Flat lander Fla. boy...But Why did they dig a deep well there when there is a good running creek 500 yards away....400 hundred of it is straight downhill...sharp.
Was the original creek a lot more uphill , It was a cool looking bit of woods but it was mostly man made mess.
Erosion from bad farming seems to have bout destroyed the original landscape.
That`s a long way to tote water. Especially on wash day. That`s why most folks around South Georgia had their well dug close to the kitchen. Ours was about 5 steps from the back porch at the home place. Daddy also dug another down by the corncrib to water the hogs when he penned em up.
