About this map

The University of Georgia campus and the historic core of Athens anchor the western edge of this 2020 landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the suburban and industrial corridors of eastern Clarke County. The river systems define the local geography, with the North Oconee River and Middle Oconee River framing the southern settlements like Whitehall. This era shows a complex mix of academic institutions, such as Athens Technical College, and significant aviation infrastructure at the Athens/Ben Epps Airport.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across this sheet, ranging from the large Oconee Hill Cem near the university to smaller family or community plots like Lester Cem, Martin Cem, and the Gospel Pilgrim Cem. To the east, the independent municipality of Winterville maintains its distinct character, separated from the primary city by a network of creeks including Trail Cr and Shoal Cr.
