About this map

Woolsey and Brooks serve as the primary hubs in this part of Georgia, where the headwaters of Whitewater Creek and numerous smaller lakes define the landscape. The area is marked by a legacy of family-owned lands and agricultural estates, evidenced by names like Stubbs Plantation, Gantt Acres, and Bakersfield Farms. The course of the Flint River forms a significant natural boundary, winding through the eastern portion of the map near Lowry and Vaughn.

Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the John Bates Family Cem and the Antioch Cem. The transition from rural acreage to residential development is visible in the emergence of neighborhoods like Cambridge Estates and Woolsey Woods. Transportation and commerce are represented by a network of local routes, including Fletcher Ford Rd and Mud Bridge Rd, alongside specialized sites like the Brook Bridge Aerodrome and Rust Airstrip.
