About this map

The Tugalo River valley forms the centerpiece of this Georgia and South Carolina borderlands survey, where the rising waters of Hartwell Lake have transformed the landscape into a network of jagged peninsulas and deep coves. The area is defined by its small crossroads communities and rural settlements, including Old Madison, Dixon Crossroads, and Avalon. These settlements are linked by a complex web of mountain trails and highway systems, such as Toccoa Hwy and the Lee Mountain Trl.

For researchers and genealogists, the map is a dense record of family and community history, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds. From the Eastanollee Cem in the southwest to the Chauga Cem in the north, these landmarks sit alongside rural institutions like the Mullins Ford Cem and Confidence Cem. The presence of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the winding course of Eastanollee Creek further illustrate the mix of protected woodland and agricultural land that characterizes this portion of Stephens County.
