About this map

Buckhead and Swords serve as the primary hubs in this section of Morgan County, where the landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Oconee and the protected timberlands of the Oconee National Forest. The map documents a rural environment shaped by the drainage of Goose Creek and Sugar Creek, alongside several smaller impoundments like Massey Lake and Bird Lake.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Mount Zion Baptist Church Cem, Fork Chapel Cem, and Jim Carey Cem. The settlement at Parks Mill and the crossroads at Carey highlight the persistent rural framework of the region, while the border between Greene County and Morgan County follows the winding course of the Oconee riverbed submerged beneath the modern reservoir.
