2017 Map of Aonia

About this map

The Little River meanders across this eastern Georgia landscape, defining the jagged border between Wilkes Co and McDuffie Co. Significant bends in the river, such as Busseys Bend and Fish Dam Bend, lead into the sprawling waters of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, which dominates the southeast corner of the map. High ground is marked by the distinct peak of Graves Mtn in the northeast, rising above the surrounding creek valleys and rural road networks. Small rural settlements like Oak Grove, Adasburg, and Aonia serve as local hubs, connected by routes such as Lincolnton Rd and Thomson Rd. Genealogists will find several family and church burial grounds, including Pierces Chapel Cem, Burdette Cem, and the Griffin- Johnson Cemetery, which document the long-standing community ties in this river-and-ridge country.
