2011 Map of Apple Valley

About this map

The North Oconee River winds through this Piedmont landscape, defining a rural corridor between the settlements of Dry Pond and Thyatira. By the early 21st century, the area maintained its agricultural character while supporting modern infrastructure like the Jackson County Airport. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Cave Springs Cemetery, Oconee Cemetery, and Bennett Cemetery. The river is a central geographic feature, crossed at Candler Bridge and Woods Bridge, and is fed by several tributaries including Candler Creek and Gravelly Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, water management is visible through the Jefferson City Lake and its associated dam. This map preserves the locations of early 20th-century landmarks like Hurricane Shoal and the community of Apple Valley, providing a detailed record of Jackson County's evolving landscape of roads and water resources.
