About this map

The Ocmulgee River winds through this central Georgia landscape, forming the primary geographic spine where the Towaliga River joins from the west. This river-dominated terrain is dotted with small, historic communities such as Gladesville, Berner, and Cork, each serving as local hubs in a landscape defined by forestry and rural tradition. The presence of specialized areas like the Ocmulgee Flats Hunt Camp and Gladesville Hunt Camp indicates the area's continued reliance on and relationship with the surrounding woodlands.

Local family history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds, including Enon Cemetery, Willis Cemetery, and Holloway Cemetery, which are scattered along the backroads. Landmark infrastructure like the Bill Key Bridge and the Gladesville Lookout Tower provide orientation points within the network of forest service roads and local routes. This 2011 survey documents the intersection of Jasper, Monroe, and Jones counties at a moment when the rural character remained largely defined by its natural watercourses and quiet crossroads like McElheneys Crossroads.
