About this map

The Apalachee River and Oconee River converge in the eastern portion of this map, marking the boundary between Morgan and Greene counties in the early 1970s. This rural landscape is heavily wooded, dominated by the Oconee National Forest and characterized by the intersection of the Georgia railroad line and state highways. Small settlements and local landmarks dot the terrain, including Buckhead, Swords, and Carey, along with several country churches like Mt Zion Ch and Greenville Ch.

The presence of numerous creek systems, such as Sugar Creek and Goose Creek, highlights the agricultural and natural heritage of this Georgia Piedmont region. Genealogists may find interest in the scattered rural cemeteries and several gaging stations located along the riverbanks. The settlement of Parks Mill sits at the southern edge of the survey, where the river serves as a central artery for the local geography.
