About this map

The North Oconee River and its numerous tributaries, such as Parks Creek, define the landscape of Jackson County in the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates a rural Georgia region transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of a County Airport and a nearby Drag Strip in the center of the sheet. The settlement pattern is anchored by Jefferson in the south and Maysville in the north, connected by a network of rural roads and the Seaboard Air Line railroad.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of local landmarks like Hurricane Grove Ch and Wheeler Cem. The map also identifies smaller communities like Dry Pond, Blackstock, and the namesake Apple Valley, providing a clear record of these locales before significant late-century development. The inclusion of features such as a Lookout Tower and Toney Hill helps orient researchers to the specific topography of the Oconee basin.
