2017 Map of Athens East

About this map

The North Oconee River and the Oconee River converge south of the city, defining the drainage patterns of this Clarke County landscape. The eastern outskirts of Athens are shown in detail, where residential developments like Green Acres sit alongside established sites like the Athens/Ben Epps Airport. This area is particularly rich in family and community burial grounds, preserving local history through sites such as the Gospel Pilgrim Cem, Oconee Hill Cem, and several smaller rural plots like Bates Cem and Lester Cem. To the east, the independent municipality of Winterville and the settlement of Dunlap are prominent, while the southern reaches are marked by the Whitehall community near Peeler Pond. The land is fragmented by a dense network of local roads and water bodies, including Christian Lake and Thompson Lake, illustrating the transition from urban center to rural homesteads.
