2011 Map of Amboy

About this map

The rural agricultural landscape of Turner County centers on Amboy and Double Run during the early 21st century. This region is characterized by an extensive network of named local roads and a sophisticated system of water management, evidenced by several recorded dams such as Whelchel Lake Dam, Gibbs Lake Dam, and Date Lake Dam. These structures manage the flow of various tributaries, including Double Run Creek, Deep Creek, and Wolf Creek, which drain the surrounding farmland. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local family and community burial grounds, specifically Oklahoma Cemetery, Pate Cemetery, and Rainey Cemetery. The presence of numerous small bodies of water, including Gibbs Lake, Hobby Lake, and Tom Halls Pond, suggests a terrain shaped by both natural hydrology and intentional irrigation or recreational development within this Georgia community.
