Malcom's Crossroads

Malcom’s Crossroads, which has also been identified as Sowhatchet, is a deeply rooted agricultural community. It was created and maintained by the citizens that long ago farmed this land and continue to do so today. The heart of Malcom’s Crossroads existed at the intersection of what is currently known as Fairplay Road and Sandy Creek Road. According to the 1939 Georgia DOT Map, the Malcom’s Crossroads community had a store, a small business, three warehouses, a watertank, various residential dwellings, a church, and a cemetery.

Memories of Malcom's Crossroads

“The Crossroads had lots of houses. There was a blacksmith shop. The man that did the blacksmith shop would wake me up every morning...hearing hammering. There was a country store that sold candy and stuff, and it was also a house. There was a church across the road from there, and then another house back of that. Going to Bostwick there was a country store, and there was a house, a nice home where a man lived that worked for Daddy, and then another house back of that. Drujean and Uncle Beason tried to count the houses, and it was 26 or 23 houses.”
