2017 Map of Bowdens Pond

About this map

Kaolin Mines Lake sits at the center of this Georgia landscape where the borders of McDuffie, Warren, Glasscock, and Jefferson counties converge. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of family cemeteries, including the multi-surname Barksdale-Story-Bradshaw Cem and Jones Grove Cem, suggesting a long history of generational land ownership. Waterways like Brier Creek and Reedy Cr wind through the terrain, feeding numerous named bodies of water such as Bowdens Pond Number One and Johnson Pond. The presence of Huff Bridge and Luckie Bridge over the creeks, alongside features like Little Brasstown Gap, highlights the natural crossings and elevation changes that shaped the local road network. This survey documents the rural character of the region, where legacy homesteads and small-scale hydraulic features remain primary landmarks.
