About this map

The Apalachee River flows through the center of this Georgia landscape, defining the jagged boundary between Morgan and Greene counties. At this point in the twenty-first century, the river's path is marked by the expansive waters of Lake Oconee, which dominate the eastern and southern portions of the sheet. The small settlement of Buckhead sits in the west, while the community of Swords is situated near the center, just north of Bird Lake.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Mt Zion Baptist Church Cem, Taylor Cem, and the Fork Chapel Cem located near Us HWY 278. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is largely occupied by the Oconee National Forest, with quiet settlements like Carey and Parks Mill remaining near the water's edge, reflecting a rural landscape shaped by both forest conservation and twentieth-century reservoir development.
